My vote goes for a 5.0L V8 W140. 560 SEL would be a close second, third, a

My vote is for the 126 in big cars, and the 124 in the
mid-range. Never owned a 201, so I can't comment on them. My vote
for the best car in the world, ever, is the 300SDL. If my memory is
correct, the 126 was the last of the hand-touched bodies, as opposed
to the robotic, untouched bodies.

Sort of. A 140 is certainly more complex and sophisticated than a 123,
so it goes without saying that parts are overall more expensive, but I
haven't found them to be prohibitively so. There's just more "car"

due to the higher production numbers.
Not much difference, really, except that parts are more standardized on

I think the pricing on w140 is undervalued because of the stigma of
concern about repairs.
This may result in great deals if you can find one that has the

Can you define 'first run' for me (I was off the list for quite a while and
the 140 talk seems to have gained momentum in that time)
This talk of 140s has me drooling. Always liked th
Probably the BEST Benz every made, but out of production before the end

I can personally vouch for the crash safety of the W124 chassis, and
the W126 and W140 are better. Don't know about the later ones, I have
my doubts.

The last really good ones were the W124 chassis, KE-Jet models.
The newer ones suffer from lousy sheet metal and poor crash protection.
