1984 MERCEDES 280SE W126, THE BEST AVAILABLE UNDER 10K For Sale

Quite likely the best w126 at any price, certainly the best engine for practical maintenance and for sensible use and it is the underside that beats any other. As well as the complete lack of sun fade.
Want to join the concourse circuit. you will never get a better chance for under 10k

I have sold loads of cars to Ireland, i know you cannot always view, so have loads more pictures available. I know the Irish market and this car suits it perfectly.

i found the factory build/ options list under boot mat. And it is very well optioned.
alloy wheels, near mint not restored
electric sun roof
electric seats
air con not tested yet
velour upholstery, expensive over leather at the time and absolutely mint.


This car covered 27k in 7 years, sold and maintained by Normand Mayfair and was chauffeur driven around London when it, s Middle Eastern owner visited in summer. I very much doubt this ventured on to a salty road and rarely got wet.

Always kept in the underground car park of the mansion block where it stayed unused for 27 years.
Fresh fuel and a new battery and it pulled itself out of it, s resting place.

She has now had a good going through and change of fluids and i got the second mot test recently but has still only done about 60 miles since.

The underside is just excellent, barely any surface rust anywhere, steering and suspension components are still in original coating with factory paint code blobs and slashes still there, even on brake back plates.
Inside each arch is mint and untouched, any bolt you ever need to undo undoes easily and look like they were just fitted.

Bodywork is superb as is the bright work but here is the quandry i have had for last 12 months or so.
Do i hand it to a smart repair person to deal with a few marks and scratches from London use and 28 years of storage or let the new owner decide.

I am not to worried about selling the car and will not entertain silly offers, probably no offers unless you can convince me you are going to give it the perfect home and then it will only be your delivery money. There are plenty for sale at 15/ 20k but i honestly don, t think any are as good as this early car, They might look superb but have been cleaned and detailed to the max by the dealers selling them, that is how the make the margin required, this one has been washed and waxed and you can see exactly what you are buying.

In March 1962, Mercedes-Benz released the exclusive two-door M189-powered 300SE. Like the 300 saloon, it was based on the W111 chassis but shared both Daimler's top-range 2996 cm3 fuel-injected engine and the unique W112 chassis designation, efforts on Mercedes' part to distance it from the maker's modest W110 and W111 ...
