Description
No Reserve.
4196cc, auto.
This very nicely presented Mercedes-Benz 420SEL (W126) has covered only 49,144 miles from new, and benefits from over £22k of recent refurbishments.
Powered by the 4.2-litre M116 petrol V8 engine, it's finished in Anthracite Grey with a smart grey cloth interior featuring air conditioning, sunroof and a modern retro-styled Blaupunkt stereo. The vendor bought the car late last year and has spared no expense in having it restored to its current condition.
Work has included a thorough overhaul of the brakes, suspension, fuelling and ignition, major servicing and renewal of all fluids, professional structural repairs with associated paintwork renewal, and a new set of five Vredestein tyres.
Subsequent work has included attention to the heating system, seat adjustment and central locking, and another engine service in April this year.
The car now has an advisory-free Mo
T to 18th October 2027. The history file contains invoices from 2011 onwards, mostly from...
