S-Class (W126/C126) Koenig Mercedes-Benz W126 SEC


The Mercedes-Benz W126 is a series of passenger cars made by Daimler-Benz AG. It was marketed as the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and manufactured in sedan/saloon (1979–1991) as well as coupé (1981–1990) models, succeeding the company's W116 range. Mercedes-Benz introduced the 2-door C126 coupé model, marketed as the SEC, in September 1981. This generation was the first S-Class to have separate chassis codes for standard and long wheelbases (W126 and V126) and for coupé (C126).
I love the c126 when i was in high school my dad had a 420 in this weird battleship green color im not really a fan of green normally but it really suited it. If i can find some pics of it il post them. Im not to sure about the Koenig tho. The performance and wheels hit the spot but i think the kit cheapens the car. However its quite subtle compared to what they did to the SLC.

Is that magazine Mercedes Enthusiast still around in the UK?

They said that the wide-body SEC is perfect for those "who's skin is tanned, who's shirt is permanently open and love wearing black sunglasses". Basically a reference to playboys or pimps. :D

Its funny you should mention Mercedes Enthusiast as i was looking though it in Smiths yesterday, there was a W123 230E with a conversion claiming it was running a 560 SEC, looked quite interesting.

Yeah i was daring myself to use the quote "whiff of chest wig and medallion" hehe.
