Unique W140 S500 for sale

[motec 6.9]

Apart from flag holder and seller talking about bullet proof glass. Which is most likely thinking double glazing is bulletproof. What caught my eye was Velour interior. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/de...-5783507?pageSource=details&id=SSE-AD-5783507

I wonder if it is a private import? I've never seen a W140 with velours in Australia. Its funny how many people assume the factory double glazing is bullet proof glass. I remember one of those guys on facebook getting really hot and bothered when somebody tried to correct it. I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!!!!!

Yes and I think I was one correcting them plus posted picture of real bullet proof glass its 25mm minimum thickness most is 40 or 50mm

I would be tempted by a nice W140 but this is not it.

Series 2 update without biodegradable wiring loom. And as original as possible having owned a 6 I have no problem looking for another as the silence driving them is what really gets your attention and the Bose sound system really is very nice.

Brian,

What is it you like about the W140 model to tempt you.

Myself, I have always liked the W116 & the W126, however I was never interested in the W140, but I don’t really know why I’m not interested in it

So this is more of a learning question for me.

Patrick having driven one they are the quietest car you will probably ever be in more so than models that followed like W220

To me they represent the triumph of engineering over marketing. I also like the wedge/slab shape. I am a straight line person …
