Now for some unusual reason I actually have some wisdom to impart despite never owning a W140. A close friend has one, he also churns through cars at HMC rates but so far he's held onto it. Perhaps there is a cure?

I believe there are two different tailgates. I think one has angular corners on the lower edge and the other has radius corners.

 

Edit: change that to pointless wisdom. Your car has radius corners too by the looks of it.

Well without a plan i sold the xk8, and the fiat 500 twin air is waiting for parts to arrive to fix a coolant leak. Hence i have been using the samara - which is no hardship as the heater is excellent.

But also i have done a buy. Cheaper than w126s and simpler than w220s, w140s are something ive been back to a couple of times.

This s320 has been in the same family for 20 years, and has some latvian gangster spec panel damage…

 

Is your old one still on the road?

Pre-fl like my 500SEL has squared off corners, taillights and reflector band are all different. Facelift like this has the rounded ones.
