Welcome to this issue of 'Old Cars Are Hard to Find'

The opening corner master would like to ask, how many friends like Wagon station wagons? At least Master Jiao is one of them, but unfortunately, my wife is not...


Today our protagonist is a German system Wagon model, it comes from Mercedes-Benz. If you are not particularly familiar with a certain Mercedes-Benz model, then the name of the 560 SEL may not be important to you, but this car, which was first released in 1985, was one of the fastest large cars in the world at that time .


The maximum speed can exceed 250 kilometers per hour, which is very suitable for cruising on European highways. This car is equipped with a Mercedes-Benz 5.6L V8 (actual displacement 5547cc) all-aluminum engine, single overhead camshaft, 16 valves, 96.5mm stroke, 94.8mm cylinder bore, a maximum power of 300 horsepower at 5000 rpm, and maximum torque at 3750 rpm. 454 N·m.


Here I have to mention Mercedes-Benz in the W126 era. The models of this era are hailed as the most durable Mercedes-Benz in the world. One generation, so many awards. In 1981, he won the Motor Trend Import Car of the Year Award, the 'Wheels' Impurity Model of the Year Award in the same year, and the U.S. Highway Loss Data Institute of the United States' Best Safe Passenger Car Award from 1988-1989.


To what extent is the Mercedes-Benz leather in the W126 era? After 30 years, there are still people in the world using it. From New York elites to Middle Eastern dictators to South American drug dealers, a large number of people are still using it.

The W126 Mercedes-Benz 560 TEL ESTATE we introduced today is modified by CARO.


CARO may not be familiar to everyone. The full name of this modification agency is 'Caro International GmBHNot only that, this modification agency has also modified convertibles, extended luxury cars, VIP armored vehicles and so on.

This is a very rare Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, which was born in 1990. The whole set of modification work was completed by CARO Hamburg factory, 100% handmade.


Speaking of this, there will be a huge turning point. Because Mercedes-Benz has never launched the 560 SEL series ESTATE travel version.


Therefore, CARO designers made a transformation according to their own interpretation of the design concept of the era. First, the rear deck of this car was taken from the Wagon model of the W124 era, and then the designer refined it to match it. Therefore, after the actual transformation is completed, the effect is very good, just like the original factory effect.


Following, the designers also modified various parts of the vehicle, including the roof line, C-pillar and rear four A part of it has been carefully modified to maintain the correct body geometry style of the original SEL model.






Therefore, the effect of the overall modification is still Very good. Although it is not the original factory, the price of this car is not cheap. The car has been auctioned at RM Sotheby's auction on January 22, and the estimated price range is between 30,000 and 40,000 US dollars. Do you think it's worth it?
