Stay tuned for part 2 to see two other armoured 560SELs, as well as an armoured 260SE. Make a child draw a car, and they draw a W123 Mercedes Benz E Class. Make a child draw the same car, but with larger pencils and crayons, and they end up drawing the simple, but elegant W126 Mercedes Benz S Class. First released in 1979, and sold until 1991 the W126 Mercedes Benz S Class was the longest produced Mercedes Benz S Class, and for good reason. If it a'int broke, don't fix it. (as well as the R&D; time needed to develop the next generation legendary W140 Mercedes Benz S Class.) It featured safety features, and creature comforts that we may take for granted nowadays, but was surely an engineering marvel for its time such as ABS, traction control, front and rear crumple zones, seatbelt pre-tensioners, driver and passenger side airbag (for later models), as well as electrically operated front and rear seats plus electrically operated head restrains which are not even standard in most cars today. The W126 came in multiple forms: short wheelbase W126, long wheelbase V126, as well a a coupe version C126. It also came with multiple engine options ranging from the inline 6 engines such as the carbureted 280S M110 with 154hp, the M103 260SE, 300SE/300SEL with 169hp and 190hp respectively, all the way to the big V8 M116 based 420SE/420SEL, M117 500SE/500SEL, and 560SE/560SEL with as much as 300hp.
