You can see the fluid reservoir in the front driver's-side corner of the engine compartment with the master distribution valve on top and the hard lines leading to the rest of the system on left and right of it. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/cto/3932264868.html Would be a cool car to fix up get back on the road!

Yeah, this CL find could easily eat up a couple thousand just getting the interior back in order, let alone the mechanicals.just have never seen an Euro car with the system over here before.

[MBZ] Euro W126 500SEL on CL
Came across this interesting gray market 500SEL on CL tonight. What caught my eye was the fact it's sitting so low at all for corners, I'm guessing it has the full Hydropneumatic suspension option! It would have to be earlier then '87 though, due to the heated seat switch locations style of the lower cladding. Guess they must have changed the wheels when they imported it or later on. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/cto/3932264868.html Would be a cool car to fix up get back on the road! -- Chris J.
