1995 Mercedes W140 S-Class

[deanflowers]

Hi guys here is my s-class - its static but will be putting it on air ride soon i think







Its my daily drive at the moment and will try to get to some sheffield / rotherham meets soon as I'm working up that way

Space the rears and that would be absolutely perfect. I love these big barges and they're such fantastic value for money but swmbo will not entertain the idea.

[captainwow]

Just spotted this. That's beautiful, qwerty's right about spacing the rear out tho.

Are you on Instagram? There's a couple of us with 140s in the UK on there now.

Thats sweet! I was looking at these on ebay the other day after seeing a pic of this at the RR Sheffield meet.

I love them, mrs hates them lol.

Looks like it could do with a bit of turtle wax

[deanflowers]

I'm not on instagram,

The wheel bolts are currently about an inch and a half long so will need to probably put a set of adapters on to get them out much more i would think.

I'm considering putting a set of staggered E55 AMG wheels on with polished lips so i get a bit more dish

[Mercdan68]

that is lovely!!!

[deanflowers]

Thought i would update this,

Bought these 19" OZ Opera II wheels about 6 months ago and did a few shows but was ideally trying to buy some AMG staggered 19" monoblocks which seem to be like hens teeth:





Even managed to sneak into fastcar at the gathering too:



But these 18" staggered Brabus Monoblock IIs turned up on ebay at a price i couldnt say no to so think this is going to be how it will look for next year:





Need some paint and a some air would be nice but funds won't allow at the moment

[Mercdan68]

That is just so right

[jeffeRS]

Holy curse word, that's a beautiful example. The word sublime springs to mind.

APPROVED!

Big fan of these but never had the balls to take the plunge yet - always seems to be another BMW or Landy that gets in the way.
The 3 spokes work. It's a sleazy looking ride!

[Dr.AK]

Baller car. Always wanted one of these.

My opinion, leave the airride and spend the money on getting some serious lips for those 3-spokes, because that would make the car perfect.
Kinda like this, only on 3-spokes:

[deanflowers]

The brabus wheels are in for a full rebuild with the guys at Voodoo. They painted them green for Ultimate dubs to show some assembly work but should have them back very soon painted the same colour as the lower half of the car. Hoping to get them white walled too before they go back on!

They already look deeper being polished:



Had to put deeper dishes on hold for now as there is a bit of paintwork that needs sorting first. Then rears will go on the front and the fronts will go wide.

What suspension are you using at the moment, and what drop is it?

Looks excellent btw.

Have you got any pics of it with the 3 spokes on in green?

[deanflowers]

Its chopped stock set of suspension and it still drives spot on, they are so comfy you can't really tell. Not sure how much its dropped but i think quite a lot. Stock mudlfaps would touch the ground on it.

I never had them back in green, they were only done for UD for a stand to show what can be done.

[1toomanycars]

Cheers mate, seeing yours and the prices these are, the 190e may have just gone out the window!

Shame they never went on though, the green would've looked smart against the black.

I assume you have already sold the wheels you've taken off?

[deanflowers]

You wont regret buying one, there was an awesome s plate one sold a few weeks back for 2700

I had to sell the OZ to buy these but didn't want to as was going to fit them to my W210 or W211

Just about says it! El presidente and his henchman. This must have cost a few sheets when new?

There was one of these parked outside my house yesterday which I was checking out. Standard ride height. A dolled up granny comes out of the sewing shop next door and steps into it and cruises off. If I see her again I'll let her know she's got a 'sleazy looking ride' - pretty hard to translate sleazy into Deutsch.

The price of them certainly has gone up lately for a nice one, it was probably only a year or so aho you couldn't give em away, if fact I was watching an S500 at a dealers near me and it started at £3995 and a year later was £2500 and that was 1 owner and under 80k from memory,  but sadly now gone.

I don't know how many have the air suspension,  but after I had an E55 AMG a couple of years ago, I swore I'd b
never buy anything else with it factory fitted!
