Sometimes I think it’s a shame there weren’t more of these made, but with the w116, it seems there were just so many better looking wagons of the era. Particularly bothersome to me with this particular one is the fact that the C-pillar lines look so bad. Curved door lines. Straight wagon hatch area lines. Don’t get me wrong, I’d buy it, just not for much more than a regular w116.
