Talking How's this for 26 years old ?
Can someone photoshop them, with all the 'cool effects(contrast on all that good stuff)' for me...thanks !

What do you think for a 26 year old car ? ( i guess i can proof that i'm not a 'fake' )


A member gave me a FREE windshield and a new dashboard for my car! I will be putting them in soon enough ! Hopefully some 5 spoke AMG soons as well BTW this is a daily driver so give it some props for being in service for 26 years ( probably one of the oldest benz on the forum!)

You don't see too many "greenie" W126s. Our 1981 300SD is just about identical in appearance to your 500SE, except ours has green leather. Lookin' good!

hmm, I thought 81 was the first year for the 126
yours looks cool. mine is an 82, and it is the metallic teal green. tan interior. soon to be updated with gray leather... waiting...
has your odo gone over 1M miles? pretty low mileage for an 80-81
mine is over 280K miles looking forward to another 280K
Diesels never die though. they just keep on knocking...

Maybe these "greeny" samples were ordered by the military as transportation for officials. Note that W 124s were used as taxi in Germany, W 126 were once used as police cars. High chance that both were of them were used by the military.
