I've been pondering quite a bit a bout this:
I would say W116, W124 and W126 and particularly W123 are not yet classics because they are just getting to the age of "classic" and most of them are still running like everyday cars, commuters. their durability and reliability has actually been counter productive in making them rare.
I sincerely hope that an oil scare this summer will upgrade them all to status of legend.
