An absolutely bizarre spot. Not only can you spot 163-1 and 163-2 in the same picture, but seeing an older S-Class being used as a diplomatic vehicle, especially from a country like Tajikistan, is an interesting spot.

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.

Robert Jankel Company was specialized in customization of Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Range Rover, Bentley or Rolls-Royce in 80s and 90s.
I saw this one abandoned somewhere in the Yinchuan city in north China.
Thx to Sam for the tip !
Happy New Year 2020 !!!
It is a famous place in China for car spotters.
In Binhai - the harbour of Tianjin - there is a place where are abandoned about 40 vehicles since a long time.
Apparently, these vehicles were confiscated by Chinese customs for illegal importation.
Main of these cars are Mercedes-Benz S-Class V126 but there are also some Cadillac, Lincoln, Nissan, Toyota, some BMW E23, one Rolls-Royce, etc ...

W109
1965 - 1972
Die Limousinen der Baureihe W108 & W109, die 1965 die 'Heckflossen'-Sechszylindermodelle ablösen, zeichnen sich durch ihr zeitlos-elegantes Design un die großzügig dimensionierten Fensterflächen aus. Neben den Modellen mit Stahlfederung - intern der Baureihe 108 zugeordnet - gibt es luftgefederte Varianten der Baureihe 109, die von Beginn an mit 10 cm längerem Radstand angeboten werden. Ein besonderes Highlight ist der 1968 präsentierte 300 SEL 6.3. Das neue Topmodell der Baureihe hat den leistungsstarken V8-Motor der Highend-Limousine Mercedes 600 erhalten und bietet nebenhöchstem Komfort und luxuriöser Ausstattung sportwagenmässige Fahrleistungen.

A Trasco 1000 SEL 44 photographed in Shanghai, Shanghai municipality, China.
I discovered this limousine thanks to some Chinese friends.
Trasco was a German company specialized in Mercedes-Benz converting.
Its main product in 1980s was on the base of Mercedes W126.
Several limousines were based on the W126. Stretched by 15", 18", 36" and 44" like this one.
A very rare vehicle in China.

A Mercedes-Benz S-Class V126 560 SEL photographed in Beijing, Beijing municipality, China.
In North Beijing, I spotted these both Mercedes-Benz V126, sadly abandoned ...
S-Class W/V126 are quite popular in 1990's in China as foreigners vehicles or ambassy/consulate vehicles.
Years after years most of them are owned by Chinese people.
Currently, these old beauties are victim of banishment from Beijing authorities.
So lots of them are abandoned, moved to other place or just scrapped.
This year, Beijing was another time a great place to spot cars.
I discovered new places with some interesting things and spotted very cool cars :)

S317, T363, P16 and S312 roll into Nullawil yard at the head of 9197 empty grain from Tottenham. The impressive silo art on the former grain silo is a hard shot to pass up.
The locos will split into two pairs to allow them to run around their train which is too long for the loop. Once the train has been remarshalled, they'll push their consist back underneath the modern loader (located to the right of frame) before departing for Melbourne that afternoon.
When I was younger, I quite fancied the idea of having a W108/109. Not just any, but the rather nice, 280 SE 3.5 with a 200 hp V8.
At the time, they were worth about $6,000. Which was, unfortunately, about $6,000 more than I had. I had also been cautioned, that running a 25 year old Mercedes-Benz, low-volume V8 was probably pretty expensive as well. Having just looked them up, they are now worth about $35,000, though they are now an additional 30 years old and have probably cost a lot of money to keep them running that long.
Still, lovely. The range launched in 1965, initially with a 2.5 L inline-six, producing 130 PS in the carburettor 250S, of 150 PS in the injected 250 SE. A larger engined 3.0L was fitted to the W109 300SE/SEL, which used air suspension. In this application, the engine produced 170 PS.
In 1967 the 2.8L replaced the 2.5L lifting power to 140 PS and 160 PS for the 280 S and 280 SE respectively, while the 3.5L v8 also joined the range at this time.
Those crazy people who wanted a lot more go, could, from 1966, buy the limited volume 300 SEL 6.3, with the 250 PS / 500 Nm V8 from the flagship W100 600 model. These are probably worth most of $100 K these days.
Key appeal to this kind of car isn't the speed, but the style. 5.0m long, wide, glassy cabins, leather and wood, plenty of space, and plenty of class. There was one down the road from my house even, a pale blue 250 S, which gracefully glided down the street.

Like many Bulgarian places, this one's carrying a Tutkish name as well, meaning "small bazar/market". It's located in central Bulgaria and it's cool to see a larger car like this one from abroad in Berlin.

Here's how I plan to do the grills on my S class (most of it is stolen from Teunis...thanks mate!). There will be six of these grill units along the body of the S class. Given the weird spacing, most will not be attached, but will be trapped in place by the body and roof. The plates holding the flags trap the clips holding the bars so they can't move upwards.

"If you feel obligated to ask about the price you not only will never understand the car, you have branded yourself incapable of ever appreciating its virtues even if someone gave you one." – Car & Driver on the Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5.
The fact that the esteemed American motoring magazine felt compelled to remark on the 280 SE's price is understandable when one considers that at $13,500 in 1970 it was not only $3,500 more than that of the equivalent Mercedes-Benz sedan but also more than double that of a Cadillac Deville Coupé!
The 3.5-litre version of the 280 SE typifies the resurgence of larger-engined Mercedes-Benz models that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the progressive easing of fiscal constraints, which had dissuaded customers from buying cars with large capacity engines, encouraged the German manufacturer to offer bigger, more potent power units. Thus the ultra-luxurious 280 SE Coupé/Cabriolet and 300 SEL saloon were the models chosen by Mercedes-Benz to launch its magnificent new 3.5-litre V8 engine in September 1969. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium-alloy cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art power unit produced 200bhp courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition. The new V8 engine had particularly smooth running characteristics and endowed the 280 SEs with performance superior to that of many out-and-out sports cars. Thus equipped, the Coupé/Cabriolet was good for 200km/h with 100km/h reachable in 9.6 seconds, a substantial improvement on the six-cylinder version's figures. As befitted top-of-the-range luxury models, the 280 SE 3.5 Coupé and Cabriolet came equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows, and a stereo radio as standard.
Although the equivalent SEL saloon used the 'New Generation' bodyshell, the 280 SE Coupé and Cabriolet kept the elegant coachwork that had debuted back in 1959 on the 220 SE. Nevertheless, there had been some refinements made: the radiator shell was lower and wider, with a correspondingly flatter front end to the bonnet, a characteristic that has led to enthusiasts referring to these face-lifted cars as 'Flachkühler or flat radiator' models, while the bumpers were now fitted with rubber strips. Significantly, the 280 SE 3.5 was to be the final model featuring this long-established and much admired body style. It was truly Mercedes-Benz's flagship model, representing status, luxury and reliability. The company's last hand built convertible, these last-of-the-line classics are highly sought after by today's discerning Mercedes-Benz collectors.
One of only 1,232 Cabriolets produced, this automatic transmission Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 features a Becker Mexico radio, air conditioning, and power windows. The car was sold new to the United States and later exported to The Netherlands where it has been maintained in excellent condition. Subsequently, the Mercedes was sold to a Belgian car collector from Antwerp. We are advised by the current private vendor that there are no leaks and that the exhaust was replaced recently. The car drives very well and recently participated in several rallies, including one in Tuscany, Italy. One need hardly mention that it has proven very reliable. Offered with an illustrated valuation report from 2021, the car is matching numbers and its very striking colour combination is original.
