The W126 was the second series with the official name S-class, referred to as Sonderklasse or 'super-class' in Dutch. The sedans were available as S, SE and SEL. The 'E' stands for Einspritzer (German for injection engine) and 'L' means Long. Mercedes addressed some criticisms of the W116. Fuel consumption was reduced in two steps and the noise level was reduced via a lower air resistance body. A number of important safety technologies have been introduced in the W126, such as an electronically controlled ABS. It was also one of the first cars to undergo very extensive crash tests. The excellent features and high build quality of the cars led to a sales success. The series experienced an unprecedentedly long production period of 12 years. A total of 818,063 vehicles of the W126 were produced. This example comes from an inheritance and has been stored dry for 10 years. All fluids and filters have been replaced. Front brakes: new discs, calipers, pads and hoses. Rear new claws, blocks and hoses. The petrol tank has been cleaned and the fuel pump has been replaced. A new water pump, thermostat and radiator have also been installed. The 8 cylinder runs neatly and does not consume oil. The car drives well. Points of attention: air conditioning does not blow cold and the electric window control on the right rear does not function. It is an affordable old-timer to further perfect or to drive. To get a good idea of the car, we advise you to come to one of the viewing days.
