The seller offers for sale a grey metallic 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, part of the W126 flagship S-Class series, equipped with a 5.6-litre V8 petrol engine producing 300 hp and paired with an automatic gearbox. It has a verified mileage of 202.035 km. This limousine was imported from the USA in 2009 and has since been cherished in the Netherlands. It starts without hesitation, runs smoothly with no smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts cleanly. Recent maintenance included replacement of key mechanical components, making it technically well and ready for use. The interior is presented in a rare blue and black leather combination, complemented by features such as electrically adjustable memory seats, cruise control, air conditioning, a sunroof, ABS and an airbag.

The Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL was the top model of the W126 generation, produced between 1979 and 1991. Renowned for its build quality, safety innovations and timeless elegance, the W126 was the luxury saloon of choice for world leaders and executives alike. The long-wheelbase SEL version offered greater comfort for rear passengers, while the 5.6-litre V8 provided effortless performance with refinement. Today, the 560 SEL is highly regarded among collectors as one of the most iconic Mercedes sedans, combining durability with understated prestige. Its blend of comfort, safety and driving pleasure ensures continued desirability as a classic flagship model.
