Posts from Wuff_6.3 in thread „Spitzname für W108/109: Ellie für L in SEL?“

    Ponton, Heckflosse, Pagoda, Strich-Acht haben Spitznamen aber es gibt keinen für W108/109.

    Ich schlage Ellie vor, als das die erste Limousine-Baureihe ist, die für dem langen Radstand L in SEL hat. Die W111/112 Heckflossen hatten keinen L für dem langen Radstand.

    Hey Vlad,

    greetings to Moscow :)


    I guess nicknames were coined by press or public around the times those cars were introduced. For the 108 and 109 there was no contemporary "iconic" name however, only later the name "Alte S-Klasse" was created to distinguish these cars from the later 116, 126 models, which, btw do also not have any nicknames.


    Ellie might be a bit to cute for these majestic models :)


    Cheers,

    Tom
