Doesn't the M110 have the same side starter bump as the OM617?

A twin turbo 560 motor in there would be interesting....

I had an M110 W123 chassis car and it was plenty fast but seems like it might be too small a motor for a W126. The five speed would be nice, however.

Well, its not the ONLY one in the USA. I know a older lady (that I have not seen in about 2 years) that had a MB like that, but hers was gray in color. I was a 280SEL and had the 5-speed manual shift. I did not know alot about MBs the first time I saw it, but thought it was strange a W126 was a 5-speed. I did not know about "gray market" cars then. Last time I saw her, she was driving a 2007 Mercedes E-Class. Not sure if she still had the W126 280SEL or not. It was setting in her driveway for awhile when I last drove by there two years ago when I had a friend that lived in the neighborhood.

1984 280SEL

The 280SEL has finally/safely arrived and its not a repaint at all. The pics the seller had posted do it no justice The car is in incredible shape considering where it lived most of its life. The interior is stunning no wear anywhere at all to be seen! The engine starts flawlessly no valve tap cold or fully warmed up which takes less than 2 min. No smoke from the tail pipe when cold or hot. The trans shifts smoothly OMG i love that GETRAG!!!! the M110 has plenty of power and pulls very strongly to the RED LINE . When driving it under full accelleration i cant hear a noise inside the car almost silent! the quality of ride is extremely good i can hardly feel a bump in the road and its very firm in hard conering no roll that can be noticed GO EURO or dont go at all I still have not been able to locate even one single car like this anywhere searching and searching nothing yet except a report of a Little Old Lady who who owned one hmmmmmmmmmm and she drives a stick shift Id like to see that one,LOL I would like to personally thank Grapir for posting this car. As soon as i saw it i was on the phone 20 min later i had placed a deposit through paypal thankyou sooooo much.

I'm glad it ended up with someone who truly appreciates it and will take care of it.

The eBay site still had the pics of the car up yet and I noticed something that may, or may not, have anything to do with the makeup of the car, but in one of the shots of the speedo-cluster, the shift-points are marked for a 4-spd automatic, not a 5-spd manual...

Just curious...did MB have Veedo do a special speedo for 5-spds or not...and the "Unlead Fuel Only" sticker looks more like a Dyno-label than an MB sticker.

But then, it could just be me being a picky-chit...
