The Scans

Absolutely gorgeous cars the W140 CL600,please get one

The 140 cars were just so overbuilt to the point of being ridiculous. Mercedes may be coming back into their own, but today's S and CL still aren't built like this. Nothing is except the Maybach, which incidently is built on a modified W140 chassis, hence the steam roller weight.

The C126 is probably just about the nicest cars from in 80s. I still think it was Sacco's greatest car design -- his pièce de résistance.

Arguably, but I think ethier the R129 or W124 was.

Agreed.

Thanks for the scans Wimmer.

I could never stand the C140 Coupe, ever. It was just so bloated and ugly from the front, side, rear, 3/4 front, 3/4 rear etc. Every angle you looked at this thing from, it was butt-ugly IMO. The C126 SEC's on the other hand were just classy. Low key and classy, just the way owners wanted them to be.

Sorry for being late here, but i agree with you Christian. I absolutely hate that C140 Tractor... The car is just wrong from any angle... While SEC...Omg, i'm drooling every time i see that car, especially when someone keep it in good condition... Now, that's a classy Benz...

One more thing about the C140. It has GRANDPA written all over it.

I once had to drive a CL500/500CL C140 to a customer when I worked for the local dealer and I had trouble keeping this thing straight on straight roads - the steering was completely lifeless.
