I'm not sure but I think it belongs to a BHPian who owns a couple of Ferrari's.

Hyderabad based w123

Mercedes w123 is arguably the best sedan of the twentieth century.

Could I have some knowledge about this Mercedes? TBhpians having prior knowledge, Could this Hyderabad based Mercedes w126 300SD have some deficiences/issues with papers?

Now, thanks to serious research by BHPians, we have a complete rundown on Late Sheikh sahib's three beatiful cars i.e. Cadillac V16, Duesenberg and MB !

Obviously, it passed on Sheikh Mukhtar.

Especially for Priyo, I present this grab from an April 1955 filmfare magazine. Still shows the car sporting Holkar colours.

Enjoy!

Chandigarh based w126 350SEL

Mercedes never made a 350 SEL; probably an SDL. Or the 350 is wrong. In any case, the logo is a crude local fabrication.

Its for sale in OLX. It has been murdered with a 4cyl diesel engine although the 6 cyl petrol engine can be fitted back

[vinay kamath]

Someone is trying to fool buyers on OLX with Mercedes and Mustang at low prices.
