Mercedes W126 560 SEL

The SEL is the flagship model in the W126 range, and this 1988 560 is as good as it gets with its long wheelbase and 5.6 V8 engine.

Finished in Pearl Blue with cream leather interior, the condition of this SEL is a testament to the car’s previous owners who maintained it meticulously over its 110k miles.

The bodywork presents beautifully and the interior still feels fresh with a host of extras including electric sunroof, electric steering column adjustment, front memory seats and rear electric bench seat – all of which work faultlessly.

The V8 engine and automatic gearbox are still silky smooth and the craftsmanship and quality engineering when on the move still impress today.

This car has recently had over €8k spent on it including new chains and guides, suspension rebuild, brake overhaul and major service including gearbox.

The W126 is often regarded as the peak of Mercedes engineering and this rare and desirable 560 SEL is a truly wonderful example.
