I have a Euro-spec 1990 W126 coupe (560 SEC), and last week the passenger door mirror got whacked by the mirror of a Nissan driven by a little old lady who was clearly not good at judging distances. Could have been worse, I suppose. The housing is OK but the mirror-glass is cracked.
However, the W126 500 SEC was to receive no such fame, with both being retired due to mechanical issues. The W126 S-Class was available in a range of engines, and its crowning glory was the 560 SEL of 1985. This palace on wheels made use of a 272-horsepower 5.5-liter V8 engine to get from zero to 62mph in just 6.9 seconds.
