| 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SE [W116] High Hopes (1988) |
ingo  | This is correct. Mercedes had introduced the "safety steering wheel" in April 1972, for the W114/115 ande the W108/109 together. If the older steering wheels are identical with those from the W110/111, I cannot say. Maybe they are looking identical, but the sprocket-hole can be different (as at the VW-"safety steering wheel") | 2012-05-31 13:08 | |

Andre Malraux  | But surely W115 first series has a steering wheel like W110. I saw a lot of these here. And a lot with W116/W123 steering wheel. And I said to myself: if one day I will buy a W115, I must be very careful not to buy one from last series. | 2012-05-30 12:30 | |

ingo | Err, the 2nd link shows the dashboard of W110, not a W115  And neither there, nor of the W115 at the first link the steering wheel is original (the W110-part has a chrome ring too much)  All white parts are unoriginal repro-stuff, too, incl. the steering wheels. The late W115 at the 3rd link was maybe a taxi, the center console looks, like there was a taxameter in before. Inexcusable in every case there is definitely the anachronistic radio. If you spot that in any classic car, you immediately have the certainty, that the owner is only a moron and not a connoisseur. |

Andre Malraux | BTW, I always liked the weird steering wheel of Wartburg 311. .gif ":)") This one is not in very good condition, but the picture is very big .gif ";)") :Link to "dayerses.com" In this link is a photo with a Wartburg 311 steering wheel in perfect condition  :Link to "www.okazii.ro" -- Last edit: 2012-05-28 18:53:47 |

ingo | Correct. So when someday I may have the chance to get my ultimate dream car, the 6.3 I have to take care, not to get one of the very last ones. In their last months the W108/109 also got this ugly rubber-foam-steering wheel  |

ingo | For me, too. So I always refused to purchase a 1974-K 70, as it has this ugly cheap 1303-thing http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j340/alan672/Picture194.jpg (plus the primitive metallen 1303/Golf I wiper- and indicator switches) It was very important for me, to catch the pre-1974-model: http://www.ttguy.com/scot/vw/vwk70/k70dash.jpg (sorry, too late for a pic of my own car. I've put it back in the barn at noon). So important, that in early 1998 I made a ride of 1200 km to San Remo to purcase my actual car. At the same time I could have bought the last known one, a perfect mint 1975 LS with a incredible low mileage, owned by a nearly 90-year-old guy, located in my parents' town, so close, that I could go there by bicycle. But I didn't. Just because of the steering wheel (and other ugly details of the late version). -- Last edit: 2012-05-28 15:26:42 |

Treehugger | ![[Image: hhopes-honda2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/14875/hhopes-honda2.jpg) ![[Image: hhopes-honda3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/14875/hhopes-honda3.jpg) The side cover that would have had the model name on it has been replaced by one from another bike, which doesn't fit properly. "CB 400" is just visible in the second thumbnail above. The vehicle details for A921 RYU are: Date of Liability 01 11 1990 Date of First Registration 31 08 1983 Year of Manufacture 1983 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 399cc Fuel Type PETROL Vehicle Colour BLACK My understanding is that it should have two front brake disks, why there is only one I don't know. |

Andre Malraux | This is a REAL sterring wheel: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hansderegt/5437020831/ . Of course, W116/W123 is from another age, I know that, I'm not stupid. But I don't like it anyway. | 2012-05-27 01:00 | |

Andre Malraux | Thanks!  I love W116 and W123. The only thing I don't like is the steering wheel. I don't like the material and I don't like the shape neither. The steering wheel is very important for me. |

Lateef | Some very basic identifying points: the W116 has pointed front indicators, while the W123 has rounded ones. The trim of the W123 is running above the wheelarches, unlike the trim of the W116. And finally: the W116 is longer and has a more sleek profile. | 2012-05-27 00:42 | |

| 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SE [W116] High Hopes (1988) |
Sandie | Easiest way for me is shape of the lights at the front wing. Compare the main image to this: Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" the front lights angle in a different direction and have a different shape. |

Andre Malraux | OK, but aestheticaly? They look identical to me. We have quite a lot of these here, but I never could make the difference.  |
