Seller Comments
Here is one of the nicest W140 available in the entire U.S. today. Outlined below is the brief history of this vehicle as I sought it out, meticulously refined it, and brought it up to a very high level specification. I have driven it maybe 2,000 miles since I purchased it last year. It currently has 123K. I am an amateur Mercedes Benz enthusiast, having owned several different body styles from classic and modern eras. I’ve owned flagship W126 (SEL420) body styles, passed down from family members,like the G55 AMG Galendewagen. I was looking for a suitable project to continue my passion in MB cars, and was choosing between W116, W123, W124, and W140 body styles. I ultimately decided on the W140 body as it represents a watershed moment in Mercedes development history, bridging their incomparable W126 bodies, to the modern era. Ridiculously over the development budget, the W140 was a series of engineering feats combined into a single package. I strongly suggest that a potential buyer learn about the history of these vehicles, it really helps to appreciate what went into these cars and makes caring for them that much more rewarding. Once I decided on the W140 body style, I needed to choose a model. The W140 came in a variety of configurations from the 6 cylinder, up to a 12 cylinder beast, with a few 8 cylinder models in the middle. I originally sought out the V12 despite sound reasoning. These cars are incredibly difficult to service on your own and MB dealer servicing of a V12 will get ridiculously expensive, fast.
