Ah, ah...
Why do you say "...do not even have a w140...". What an offense to W140 owners... 
I am from W140 forum and I think that having a V12 W140 - only for very very occassional driving - is fun. I only keep it because I own one of first examples ever assembled (Q2 1991; 600 SEL). All this makes no economical sense at all (as I do not cut corners for maintenance), and the car obviously has no much of real value - but it is in perfect condition and represents the real hit placed on the market by MB in first months of 1991. Later the V12 became "so normal"... - that is the point where W140 of really very first production may even feel as a kind of more "classy" than the newer models. But hey - I obviously like all the W221's very much (600 and S65's especially). They are great. No question.
