1991 MERCEDES 560 SEL AUTO TURQUOISE, RARE FULL SPEC, 50,000 Miles, Beautiful

A very rare car in top condition with a very full spec. The only extra I can see which was not ordered was the drivers airbag and rather than the climate control option this car has the more common airconditioning. which appears to be working but is still on R12 gas. It has electric reclining and heated front AND rear seats. rear sunblind. rear footrests. two tone horns. cruise. outside temperature gauge etc. The car also still has the original Becker Mexico 2000. an extremely expensive option in 1991.

Finished in Beryll which is highly unusual for a W126 (code 888). this car was ordered by a private gentleman from Sidcup in Kent and collected after PDI from London Road Garage. Romford (MB). They carried out the next two services at 1. 68 miles and 5. 63 miles in early and late 1991. In March 92 it was serviced at Lancaster Hertford (MB)  at 8. 97 miles and then the book has a gap until Sept 01 at 34. 71 miles when it was serviced by an MB Specialist in Suffolk. They also carried out services 9/02 at 37. 49; 9/03 at 40. 22 and 9/04 at 43. 72. The car was next serviced at 47. 49 in September 2006 here in Cornwall. where I understand the first owner had moved by this time. nbsp;and in August 2009 he sold the car to the second owner who lives near me. I persuaded the second owner to sell the car to me last summer at which point I had the car MOT'd and the oil changed.

The car runs straight and very well. no misfires or odd noises etc. no transmission whine and smooth gearchanges. all pretty much as you would expect for the mileage. Kickdown works fine. The alloy wheels are original and have been professionally refurbished inside and out. Tyres are all very good. Yokohama on front and Pirelli on rear - not perished. Battery is the huge Bosch 100A/H as standard. I also had the underside waxoyled last summer and have stored the car inside as did the last owner.

Bodily the car is 100% since I had new genuine MB wings fitted. receipt available. These were back order from Germany as 560 front wings are different from other W126 in that the arches have a greater flare.  I understand the worldwide supply of these wings was down to 5 pairs and was told by MB that when these are gone they will not be making any more. This was the main reason for replacing the originals. which were not too bad and in fact have been sold on for repair and further use. The new wings fit perfectly. as you would expect. The car has one or two very minor blemishes. bumper corners etc. but is virtually mint and could easily be concours with a little effort.  I preferred to leave it as original and authentic as possible. The interior is 100%. a lovely cabin in full black leather with matching original MB overmats.  

This is a truly lovely W126 and is destined for another collector. I need to sell several of my cars - I am always struggling with space and do have another W126. You are welcome to come and view the car - in fact this is highly recommended - and all contact by e mail please. However. nbsp;please only make contact if you are serious about buying this car. I have had enough of so called enthusiasts who come and climb over my cars just to make a comparison with their own.  In return I will help genuine buyers as much as I can. collection from local station or airport (Newquay) possible and after sale agreed and cash paid I could even help with delivery. Buyers from Germany also welcome.    Please see my feedback.
