The W140 also had a good selection of refined yet powerful engines to choose from.

Note of thanks:
I just wanted to send a note of appreciations for the first class job the seller (Jeremy at Sport Leicht) did to ensure my 100% satisfaction.
Jeremy helped me arrange to do dry icing of the undercarriage, engine compartment detailing and Two stage Paint correction process.
I just returned home from a European vacation to That’s delight for a Fantastic 420 SEL that looks better than showroom new condition.
Wish I could post the pics of this over the top vehicle after the dry icing – next level detailing that was done.
Thank you, I greatly appreciate your over the top service and efforts. There’s a reason why buy the vehicles that I do. I’ve been in manufacturing and quality industry for over 45 years and there’s a direct correlation with a highest quality and engineered vehicles that I have purchased on Bring A Trailer. I’m confident this vehicle won’t disappoint. Thank you Jeremy and the Bring A Trailer community. I’m planning to make additional improvements and dry ice the undercarriage and engine compartment of this vehicle while it’s in California.
