I to owned the 1986 420 SEL
I to owned the 1986 420 SEL Mercedes Benz v8. I would like to just share a couple things about the car. Because of solid old fashioned way of manufacturing with real steel it saved me and my fiance's life. We were hit head-on at 65 miles an hour by a drunk driver. On a California back road highway in the foothills of Oroville California. A drunk driver crossed over into our lane on that winding road at 65 miles an hour and hit us head on head on headlight 2 headlight. Because of that old fashioned Mercedes-Benz I'm alive to write this review of that car and so is my fiance. Although we were hospitalized and now face recovery we will walk again from our wheelchairs because of the safety of that long front end and the sturdy metal it was made from we now are able to live the rest of our lives knowing that that car saved our lives. The California highway patrol that was in charge of the accident change of the scene . Visited me and my fiance in the hospital and said that any other vehicle that I could have been driving he would not be interviewing either one of us. so my hat's off to Mercedes-Benz and how well it's made thank you for building a car this car and manufacturing it so well it saved our lives Shawn and Victoria. I will now be able to go on and marry my bride-to-be thank you Mercedes I love that car and wouldn't have a problem buying another one if I ever get the chance.
