Likewise, Bruce.

I bought my gorgeous black/creme leather 560SEL from a meticulous owner with full records back to date of delivery. I can still, 3 years later, just sit in the garage with a beer and stare into that mile deep paint......

Sure, I could have bought a W140 for what I overpaid (some might say, but not me) for a W126, but I would not have received the same car. Condition notwithstanding, the W126 is something I am comfortable maintaining and the W140 chassis just has too many nachtmares relating to it.
