The seller offers for sale this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC, the flagship coupé of the W126 generation and a symbol of refined German engineering. Finished in its original colour combination of black exterior (040) with black full-leather interior, this example has been part of a private Mercedes-Benz collection since 2008. Built in September 1989 for model year 1990, it is powered by the 5.6-litre V8 engine producing 242 hp, paired with an automatic transmission. The vehicle shows no visible rust, still in its first paint, and has never been welded. It has been regularly maintained and remains in good mechanical and visual condition. Features, including air conditioning, power seats, airbags, seat heating and electric sunroof, work well. The car comes with a clean U.S. Carfax, documentation, a classic car appraisal, and a valid technical inspection.
The Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC represented the pinnacle of luxury and performance in the late 1980s. Combining timeless Bruno Sacco styling with V8 power and supreme build quality, it became a benchmark grand tourer admired for its refinement and durability. The model’s smooth ride, solid construction and elegant proportions have made it a sought-after collector’s item among enthusiasts. This well-kept and largely original example, with verifiable history and Oldtimer registration, offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a distinguished classic coupé that remains impressive both in appearance and performance.
