The story behind this collectible...

-The car by which other cars are judged -

Das beste oder nachts has long been known as a credo at Mercedes. It is also common knowledge that Germans, fortunately, have absolutely no sense of humor, especially when it comes to cars. So when they announced they were going to produce the best car "ever" at Mercedes, even the development team got a small uncomfortable smile on their faces. BMW raised the bar a notch higher by introducing a mighty twelve-pitter in the E32. The first German-made V12 since World War II. When they had recovered from this, Lexus came up with the LS400. A car that was superior in many ways.

Wolfgang Thomas, project manager of the W140, was forced to further delay the production date and make the Mercedes redefine the word Volloptionen. Ultimately, this became one of the most expensive cars ever in development; over a billion Deutschmark. This made it 40 percent more expensive than its predecessor. Wolfgang was kindly asked to pack his things when she was finished.... Now, more than 30 years later, he has nevertheless produced an icon. Known to us as the Cathedral and to the Germans as "Der Dicke. Rightly so in itself, your bum is so big that when driving in reverse you can see two antennas coming out of the trunk, to indicate where you can go!

Ours? Unglaublich! First owner, 58 thousand kilometers, all original paint and documented. Black on black, full options, original German delivery. Das gibt es doch nicht, oder? Aber sicher doch, bis bald!
