The pinnacle of the C126 series, the 560 SEC remains one of the most beautiful coupés in Mercedes-Benz history. Its 5.6L V8 engine delivers outstanding performance, while its timeless bodywork, designed by Bruno Sacco, is pure perfection: it is the symbol of German refinement in the 1980s!
Our model was delivered by Mercedes-Benz Hamburg in August 1987 in this elegant combination of Smoke Silver Metallic (702U) with an Anthracite leather interior (271). Crucially, the car has the rare 822 option, boosting the power of its V8 to 300 hp. In November 1989, the car was registered in Italy, before returning to France in 2016 with 106,000 km on the clock. Today, it is in extremely rare condition: most of the paintwork is original (the rear section has been repainted, measurements available on request), and the upholstery, also original, is in perfect condition.
During our test drive, we were struck by the overall quality of the car and its condition. The two previous owners had covered many expenses, resulting in the car’s current condition! In June 2024, the car joined the collection of its current owner, who drove it only a few kilometres before deciding to part with it. The value of the 560 SEC has risen in recent years, regularly exceeding the €30,000 mark! This high-quality example is being offered at a very attractive estimate... Don’t miss out!

The streamlined S-Class locomotives are finally finished (unless we modify them further)! I have been helping Teunis with them for the last couple of months. Teunis has built two locos (301 and 302) and I have built a third (303) to go with the non-streamlined S that I built last year.
Here S 302 Edward Henty is posed next to unstreamlined S 300.
The non-streamlined loco can run through standard Lego curves. The streamlined loco has a minimum of R120 thanks to the streamlining around the front truck.
Four S Class locomotives express passenger locomotives were built by the Victorian Railways, entering service in 1928. With the introduction of the new Spirit of Progress service in 1937 (providing the Victorian leg of the Melbourne to Sydney express), the locomotives were streamlined and received a new blue and gold livery and larger tenders for the express run from Melbourne to Albury on the New South Wales border.

This week's highlight comes from a country I haven't uploaded in a long time now - Andorra. I was pretty surprised to find this W220 just randomly parked up at the Gendamermarkt when I was running some errands. I guess I was pretty lucky. I usually try not to take pictures of parked cars with people inside of them, but I had no choice here. Andorra is definitely one of the rarest European state for me, which is no surprise, given that it's far away and it only has about 80k inhabitants.

W126
Production began in 1979 and continued until 1991, with a major update in 1985. The sedans were available as S, SE and SEL models, the latter featuring a wheelbase extended by 14 cm. Buyers could choose from 4 petrol engines offered in 13 power variants. Important new safety technologies, such as electronically controlled ABS, were introduced. It was also one of the first cars to undergo highly comprehensive crash tests. The excellent characteristics and high build quality led to enormous commercial success, with a total production of 818.063 units. Bruno Sacco was responsible for the design.

The Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3 was a full-sized luxury performance car. It featured the company's powerful V8 from the flagship 600 limousine. The result was one of the world's fastest 4-door cars. AMG, back then a small local tuning workshop, modified a 300 SEL to compete in racing events, nicknamed "Red Sow", which finished 2nd in the 24 Hours of Spa in 1971, putting AMG forever on the map. Its racing career was short-lived, due to the lack of suitable tyres. The car was sold to French company Matra, which used it for test of jet fighter landing gear, but it didn't survive. This is a replica.

S313 and T364 take a break at Newport Workshops, showing off their 'nose profile'.
The face of a locomotive has changed drastically over the years, long have the days gone since it was a 'must' to have a streamlined engine to appear sophisticated to the now boring flat front style.

Black works really well on cars from Liechtenstein. It's nice to see an FL plate on an older upscale car as well. I'm not really digging the newer wheels and the crappy aftermarket lights.
