The one I bought for cheepcheep is not too bad, it runs fine but has 
some neglect that could easy be sorted out with a bit of time and 
money.  But in the meantime I will drive it and enjoy it.  I like the

W126 coupes are especially desirable these days. There is a subgroup of owners 
on Benz World that are pretty active, and they're always talking about values 
going up.

They never appealed to me, but I can see why they're well liked. You get a 5.6 
liter V8 in that car and it's a bit of a rocket ship with period luxury.
