In the golden age of overengineering, the W140 S-Class stood as Mercedes-Benz’s uncompromising flagship—built not to a price point, but to a standard. Heralded as the last of the true ‘bank vault’ Benzes, the S420 exemplified everything the three-pointed star stood for in the 1990s: presence, power, and peerless comfort.

This particular example is a 1995 Mercedes-Benz S420, finished in a deep shade of Midnight Blue—an elegant tone that highlights the W140’s imposing silhouette and refined detailing. Sitting confidently on a set of period-correct Alamak wheels, it subtly reinterprets the stately limousine with a touch of nostalgic flair.

Inside, the cabin is upholstered in a rare Mushroom and Saffron leather combination—warmly complemented by high-gloss wood trims across the dashboard and door panels. It’s a space where old-world luxury meets enduring craftsmanship, offering a level of refinement that few cars today can replicate.

At its heart lies the revered M119 4.2-litre V8—smooth, torquey, and remarkably durable. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, the S420 delivers effortless cruising power with a soundtrack as composed as its ride.

More than just a luxury sedan, the W140 S-Class represents an era when Mercedes engineered cars to outlast time. With appreciation rising among collectors, this S420 is a rare opportunity to own one of Stuttgart’s finest expressions of excellence.
