......a W126 Mercedes-Benz spans several eras of automobile design: the Pre Computer/Electronic Age, yet has a thoroughly Modern chassis and on road feel..... When driving a W126 car,
every aspect of driving is under complete and delightful control : acceleration feels strong, steering precision is exemplary, and brake capacity is legendary....This is a car built to take on the Alps, but generally used in a much easier lifestyle. If you have ever owned or driven one of these magnificent cars then you know how special they are. The solidity, build quality, and engineering are without compromise. This car is a perfect example in representing all of these claims.

The car listed here has clearly has led a "sheltered" life :

Mechanically the car is superb. The engine starts right up and runs like new. The idle is perfect and the power is amazing!!!! There are no leaks, smoke, overheating or unusual noises. The engine compartment is very well sorted with good belts, hoses and all other components. The transmission shifts on the mark through all the gears (like new). The brakes, steering and suspension are all in tip top condition. All mechanical, electrical and climate control systems are in proper working order. The air conditioning blows strong ice cold air. All power options work as they should (windows/sunroof, etc). The car is an absolute pleasure to drive and the entire drivetrain is solid and tight. Clearly the 138,509 original miles currently on the odometer are a low fraction of the Million Mile capability of these cars.
