Topic: Help me!

[007]

Hi! I sometimes write on your forum. I am a mb fan, and my next purchase is armored w116, but actually, I want to give up. It's very difficult to find one of 292 cars on such a big planet. Yesterday, I began to think seriously about w116 limo. Where I can find some limos, with engines, on wheels?
Thanks for help.
Ian.

For what it's worth, there's two armoured W126s for sale at the moment:

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C458312

What about that armoured 116 in Sweden that was available not so long ago on Car and Classic? Was it sold before you got a chance to have a look? I remember linking to it under one of your previous posts.

Basically, your best bet to find something in Europe is to follow Car and Classic and AutoScout24.de.

Check this one out. Not sure if it is one of the 292 "factory" armored ones.

Actually, nobody read my post. This forum can't help me with armored version. Can you help me with limo?

Sure 007,

Plenty of them around here, what color do you want? 


Jokes aside, probably many people saw your post but you're asking for a rare bird !

But I thought that factory armored w116, which I was searching for 6 months, Is more rare than limos. So anybody can help me?

I don't believe there was a factory armoured 116, all of them are conversions to the best of my knowledge.

These were called "Sonderschutz" / "Special Protection" TJ, and came from factory as 350SE/SEL or 450SE/SEL only. Each one was purpose built at the protection level required by whoever was willing to pay the (undisclosed amount of) money. These even have their own category in the EPC.

Maybe I have not understood you, but w116 Sonderschutz are real model. But me, with this forum can't find it.
