I've always wanted an S-class. The W126 was my dream car when I was a kid. If I had the time, money, and the space to park it, I'd snap it up in an instant. Sadly, I have none of the above.

But I'm also torn. The W140 is in my opinion Mercedes at its peak. Solid as a tank, and weighs about as much too, and included innovations like double glazed windows to an S-class for the first time, and everything in the car is power adjustable, including the interior rear view mirror - because S-class customers shouldn't do anything manually. I don't really care that it's just a 6-cylinder, because the point of an S-class is to waft about, not to go fast.

Thankfully, I don't have the means to even consider this. It's just a pipedream at the moment. Hopefully, some day, I will have to make that agonizing decision.
I love those too, I keep seeing an S600 converted into a Limo moving people around Melbourne Airport, its two tone white and silver.

I prefer SEC/SEL though, if we're going smaller then might as well as get their coupe, if you want 4 doors then LWB, I don't feel the SE models fit in anywhere between.
