The W140-generation S-Class is a textbook explanation of the term "overengineering." Designed without looking for shortcuts, it was as good as the designers' minds and technology allowed. The highest possible levels of safety and comfort were key; cost was irrelevant. The Mercedes was meant to be a showcase of the company's capabilities, and it was in fact one. The Mercedes S 500 L W140 is a version with a 5-liter V8 engine and 320 horsepower. The increase in the value of this model over the past 5 years according to the listings of the German Oldtimer Markt Preise 2023 catalog was 36 percent, but the seller assumes an increase in momentum and promises further growth of several hundred percent in the coming years. Will this happen? It's hard to predict, certainly the ban on the sale of new internal combustion cars in the European Union from 2035 could affect the increased interest in good old cars.
