Hey my name is Simon, I am based in London and I’d class my self as a lover of the older Mercedes models particularly the w140. A friend of mine recently traveled to the the west midlands, to a town called Tipton to visit family and he spotted a home that had both a w140 and s600l parked on...

Many thanks.

Hello all!
W140, S500, 1996 (five speed): Driving in 'W' mode feels smoother and lighter than the 'S' mode for a reserved driver like me. The vehicle starts out in 2nd gear and shifts up earlier too.
