There was a discussion on this a little while ago. The "real" 1000SEL's were aftermarket modified 560SEL's that were stretched about one foot and had all kinds of neat goodies, like window curtains, extra wood, a fridge, etc.

Checked out the ebay link, and this one isn't a real 1000SEL. The real one I have seen in person had an extra 14 inches or so of cabin, evidenced by the panel between the front and rear doors. This ebay model is lacking that.

I hope the colors on the brochure look better than they do on my monitor - that's for sure! *gag*
