One of the cars where it all started with. ABC's first press-release from the IAA 1983 featured this car.
The paintwork of this car isn't anything spectaculair. However the golden Mangels wheels from Brazil and custom bumpers make the vehicle stand out from the crowd.
An interesting close-up of the same car exposing the
double-exhausts poking out of the rear bumper.
A black one, with white interior. Note the 24-carat gold plated grill and the gold painted (I believe this ain't real gold) rims. The rims are most likely BBS ones.
Another view of the same car. Look at the interior and the altered dashboard is obvious. TV? HiFi-Stereo? It's probably all in there.
This car looks very much the same as the black one, this time in candyapple-red. Again the grill is gold-plated.
This appears to be the rear view of the above vehicle. The interior looks the same (white and red combo). Interesting to see the badging on this car. Many of the luxury SEL-s were named 1000SEL, but ABC seems to have other plans. This car is named "ABC No.1". Could it be that all ABC W126-s were named in this fashion?
Well here's the answer. The "ABC No.1" badge was probably an exception. This picture shows that ABC also named their W126-s "1000SEL".
This interesting vehicle has a regular bright-red paintwork (no metallic) and a white-red interior. All the chrome seemed to have been painted in the bodywork color. Also interesting to see is the antennae fitted in the middle of the truck, probably for the TV.
This a more "sober" version. Well.... The interior matches the exterior in a sort of Old Pink tone. The wheels are the same as the two above vehicle but this time they are left in their normal aluminium finish. The suspension seems to be lowered quite a bit!
A black ABC W126 with some nice features: the grille sprayed in the color of the bodywork and Mangels rims in chrome/gold combination. The most interesting feature though are the gold-plated arabic inscriptions underneath the doorhandles. Can somebody tell me what it says?
