Во! Не знал что московским ментам так повезло в 80-м. Интересно, что с этими машинами случилось. Юра, вы не в курсе?
They all were visit scrap metall place in the first years of ninties. But we have the legend that one of them still alive).
We know info, it were 350SE and manual gearbox!!!, also saloon Brown cage color.Yellow exterior color of couse, but I know 100% that two of them were grey - in Kiev and in Leningrad cities! We have another opinion that grey police w116 were some earlier than Olimpic games also.

No air conditioning, but at least they got heated seats! I had a 300SD parts car that had front and rear heated seats, orthopedic seats, rear headrests, and even the rear fax machine thing at one point.

Your 300SD option-list was very special, I didn't see rear fax machine in w116!

Thank you so much for sharing those interesting photos.  I'm always fascinated by unusual 116 equipment.

I have seen all those pictures before, posted nearly all of them on my thread here, over the years. While not disputing anything you say, how do you know that those pics are USSR police car interiors? Never saw anything like that description with the same photos.
Did you get them all from 1 source? Would love to know more about all of this. Some buttons there, as well as options I have not found details about.

You know that it's quite common in Taiwan for city taxi's, people carriers and tourist buses to have a KTV setup built in? There are also lots of people that run regular private cars with such systems in the back.
Nobody would think it weird if I were to equip my W116 as such as well, haha!
The horror..
