W126 on 24

On the last episode of 24, dirung the gun battle at the Russian Embassy, there was a 126 caught in the middle of a gunfight... Looked to be a bulletproof one from the effects!

Bruno Sacco, Benz's designer non pareil, was recently interviewed by Mercedes enthusiast magazine.

He called the W126 his best design and the SEC his favorite.

Yes.

His daily driver, to this day, happens to be a 560SEC.
