I like that first one. It is in CA, but I don't have any money to buy it, and I know it will sell for a lot.

I thought it was a Euro at first, but why doesn't it have Euro Headlights? That is a really nice W126 though.

In the description at eBay it said it has a California title so it may have had to get the headlights changed

it also said though, that it came from Germany. And in CA, you are allowed to have the Euro Headlights. I see a lot of W126's with them. In fact, I saw a nice one yesterday. And I have seen some Euro 500 SE's in CA as well.

Maybe it got into an accident.

Also, the wipers are gone, but the wiper holders are still there....

Very fishy...

Most grey market importers made sure the cars they brought in were DOT/all 50 states compliant, hence the DOT lights. The European market wipers will not work on DOT lamps and the importer or owner may not have bothered to convert to US market wipers.

All great cars, Nutz, thanks.

Y'know, regarding the SEC, when I'm in Miami I can't help but notice that a large number of MBs have no decklid script.

Have they all been rear-ended or are they grey-market or something?

Yes, I too often confuse Miami and the UK…

For some unknown reason owners like to remove the trunk lid badge, it’s a fad of sorts.

Ha... actually the Miami to London flight is just the right length for a good night's sleep.

Not so the Dulles-London--too short

:wave:


oh, I see. And before they import the W126 in, they probably just sold off the Euro lights and wipers.

How sad.

It's all in the name of BUSINESS
