About the model

The 420SEL was a variant for the W126 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan. Introduced for the 1986 model year, the 420 SEL was powered by Mercedes' M116.965 V8 engine. This 4.2L V8 unit sent power through manual or automatic transmission options to the rear wheels. The 'E' designation in 'SEL' refers to the 420 SEL's fuel-injection as Einspritzmotor means fuel-injected engine in German, whereas the 'L' refers to the long wheelbase. Mercedes-Benz produced the 420SEL until 1991, when the variant was discontinued.
