1989 w126 mercedes 500sec For Sale

How do you feel a million dollars?? By driving this car! Seriously, we have had many SECs including 560's, AMG, lorinser etc. But this car above all gives you the feeling you have arrived, it's the most sumptuous colour combination you will find! The brazil brown hide perfectly compliments the rich wood and bronze (461 broncebraun) metallic paint finish. This is the series three 265bhp model, which has great torque (405nm) and is a better drive than the series two 560SEC (272bhp), also in terms of on real world driving experience not far shy of being on a par with the series three 560SEC (0-60 in 7. 3 sec vs 6. 9 sec) whilst offering superior fuel economy (with many regarding the 5 litre to be a better configured engine than the over-square 5. 6 litre, which was an after thought).

The car is extremely well presented with immaculate paintwork, perfect panel alignment and no rust issues. The rear parcel shelf is free from rot (a common problem area), the front wings and all the wheel arches are rot free too. The leather interior is in absolutely perfect shape, with no drying out, cracking or discolouration. The interior wood trim is in extremely good order.

This car has the full option list fitted, with every conceivable available extra. Everything works as it should, this car has been clearly cherished and maintained meticulously throughout it's life, having covered 169K of mainly motorway miles with the engine cruising at a fast idle speed of 2000 rpm. These V8 engines are known to be over-engineered and at this mileage it is to be considered nicely loosened up and now running at full efficiency with no smoke, rattles or knocks.

The previous owner paid over 10K for this just a year ago (it was advertised at £10, 950 at the mine) but due to a sudden change of circumstances it was offered for a quick sale and represents an excellent opportunity and superb value. A 12K asking price for this car wouldn't be unreasonable. However at the advertised price it represents an absolute steal!
It comes with full service history and stacks of paperwork, including previous MOTs.

Final point, this car is hpi clear, please be aware there a lot of SECs currently on the market, that are not!

Early viewing is advised to avoid disappointment, first to see will buy!
