A truly lovely, straight and seemingly genuine W126. Such low km. Thanks for sharing Tim.

I'm sorry but I just have to pose the rhetorical question: Who and why, on such a pristine example of Bruno Sacco's design work, saw fit, as is so often the case in Australia and virtually nowhere else except sometimes the USA, to add non-original tacked-on chrome wheel arch trims? At the risk of upsetting some forum readers or contributors, I just don't see it. Nor did the car's creators. They must have been stock-piled by dealers in this country (nowhere else). And they harbour dirt and rust. Try finding one without them, there aren't many. Sorry.

Talking of chrome bumpers - I spoke at the weekend to the original owner of my ex-450 that now belongs to Ant. The original owner was decidedly chuffed that the car was still on the road and put to good use.
You see, Australia is a small world.

Brian
