The W126 300SEL Is A Cruise-Mobile

The added weight we see in modern cars is due to the extensive safety features added. Inarguably, a modern S-class would have way better safety features than a W126. But, the safety the W126 provides is actually rather plausible. It does have a strong body and the long hood provides a front crumple zone longer than the doors of a Perodua Axia. Of course, we don’t want to even think about crashing an old Mercedes like this. But if you do, and God forbid that, you’ll most likely be unharmed. The doors still open and close after a frontal impact, so you can get out of the car, calm down, assess the damage, drive to a safer location, and decide what to do next over a cup of coffee.

Let’s Have A Look Around










There Is A Lot Of Space In Front…

- Buy a replacement fuel distributor (expensive)
- Buy a parts car for the distributor (and other parts)
- Scrap the car
- Turn it into a restaurant prop
- Swap the M103 for a JZ or RB engine
