Standard W126 S-class was a good car, but if you want to be extravagant - standard equipment 500SEL 560SEL or you will have nedostatochna.Poetomu such companies, Chameleon, Kugok, Robert Jankel Design, Styling-Garage, Trasco, Vantagefield and do Gemballa tuning of automobiles, since changing wheels, bumpers, paint and completely new interior. His variations on the theme of manufactured 1000SEL these firms were given, for example, names such 1001SEL (Gemballa), 1000SGS (Styling-Garage), 5000GFG (GFG), 5000SEL (Gemballa) and 10000SEL (ABC Exclusive).



One such extravagant customer received a "new» 500SEL, tyunningovanny Styling-Garage, and came to the conclusion that his new ride was at least two times better than a standard 500SEL. And he found a simple solution - change the default icon on the 500SEL creative 1000SEL, ie 500SEL x 2 = 1000SEL. It is now clear that it has started a trend, and for 5 years, the standard name for each of the modified Mercedes-Benz W126 is changed to «1000SEL» (or similar 1000sec, 1001SEL, 5000SEL, 5000GFG, etc.), regardless of what was This 380SE and 500SEL as the base vehicle.



However, Styling-Garage has received a claim from the official Mercedes-Benz official, who was not allowed to use the name 1000SEL, because it was too similar to the official nomenclature of Mercedes-Benz. And so it was decided to change the name on 1000SEL 1000SGS. It did not change anything about the content of the formula 1000SEL / 1000SGS Styling-Garage. In principle, nothing was impossible when ordering 1000SGS in Pinneberg / Schenefeld. Mainly used as a base 500SEL, but there are examples in the manufacture of a tuning 1000SGS Styling-Garage 280SEL and used as a basis. The options were many.



Appearance 1000SEL may include a variety of additional services and options. More chrome and gold instead of gold or paint, new wheels, bumpers, spoilers, skirts and bumerangovye antenna on the trunk lid to the TV.
In fact, the distinguishing sign of «1000SEL» meant that all things are possible, only pay the bill.
One of the options offered by companies such as Kugok SGS was the so-called 600th nose. This new hood in the style of Mercedes 600 (W100) 1960. Another option is to color all the chrome parts in the vehicle color or make them gold (EI Kugok, SGS) or paint them in a completely different color (SGS).



Real 1000SEL Mercedes have a new interior. This interior should at least have a new upholstery, most likely in the skin, and preferably white, cream or red. Install the central console through the whole car is also a very important improvement. This console in most cases was made of the best types of wood and equipped with all kinds of compartments for storage of personal belongings. It may be included: a cooler for champagne and a TV for passengers. Top HiFi-Stereo high quality of Clarion and Pioneer were no exception.
