1982 Mercedes-Benz 500 | Burton-on-Trent, Derbyshire

A 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500 from the W126 generation, the S-Class that Mercedes-Benz introduced in 1979. <cite index="1-1">The generation is known for aerodynamic styling that set the look for the wider Mercedes range</cite>, and for V8 engines up to 5.0 litres. This car is silver with a blue interior, a cool, restrained pairing that sits well against city streets and country houses alike. Its condition is excellent, and it seats four. Under the bonnet is a 4973cc petrol V8, the 5.0-litre engine of the range. The 500 suits advertising and fashion shoots, where the silver paint and blue cabin make a calm, uncluttered backdrop. For film, TV and music video, its 1980s lines work as period dressing. It also serves for a wedding or a special occasion. The W126 shape has appeared on screen in Black Rain and Dallas: J.R. Returns.
