This 2nd generation W126 model was produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1979-1991 before the 3rd generation came about. This land yacht provides exceptional comfort that can fit 5 large bodies with ease. The W126 SEL won the rear-seat award for all luxury sedans. The W126 is so far the most successful & the longest in production for S-Class. The 'E' designation in 'SEL' refers to the 420 SEL's fuel-injection as Einspritzmotor means fuel-injected engine in German, whereas the 'L' refers to the long wheelbase. The luxury appointments of this large sedan provides a desirable driving experience as a classic.
