LOL, who was this sev guy?  ;D ???

One of only two (IIRC) people to have been banned from the ORG.  In his case, it was for unruly behaviour and thread-whoring in the extreme.

Oh... I think he still posts on peachparts, and as I recall, he seems to have a confrontational/combative style to his posts which I've tended to give the benefit of the doubt, though they do rub against the grain.

This quote of his shares his true feelings on the W116:

"i don't know about 'best'. i mean, the w126 chassis was built better than the 116 in every way. it's heavier, has the same engine, but built better. the 123 is built better than a 116 also, and is lighter, with the same engine, but not as roomy and not built as well, in my opinion, than a 126. you have to wonder why so few 116's are still on the road today, compared to 123's. because 123's are built better than 116's in every way."

Though, the above quote was a response to someone's post about W116s being the best, which is really more an opinion than fact, though I do agree that W116s are fantastic cars.

Well... isn't the W126 actually a bit lighter than the W116?  Maybe we can ask him?

The German movie "Car Napping" from 1980.
More then one 116 in this one, but non in a major role.

Here is a link to the German trailer.

And the English one.
Sorry for the bad quality.

Spotted this among one of those dash cam compilations on youtube.

I'd say he overcooked it just a tad.

I was just watching the 1981 classic thriller 'Body Heat' (because I wanted to see a naked sweaty 1980's-era Kathleen Turner - sue me) and was surprised to see that her character drives a nice US spec W116. It looked to be anthracite gray but it was a night scene so I couldn't tell what model, I think it was an SEL though. Not a bad flick, certainly delivered in the Kathleen Turner department.

 *EDIT* You should know, high quality US market 6.9 content within.

Best scene of Lost Highway, in my opinion.
We've all wanted to do this at one time or another.

Who cares about his feelings on the w116?  The above is a load of BS!
