Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL stands out with its rare red Hermès Paris leather interior, a luxurious upgrade from the original beige. The car has been repainted black and features desirable options like 16" Lorinser wheels, power front and rear seats, and cruise control, though it's noted to require minor reconditioning.
Condition
7
The car has been repainted black and features aftermarket taillights. While the Hermès interior is a significant luxury upgrade, the description mentions "aftermarket taillights" and "16" Lorinser alloy wheels" which suggests some modifications beyond original factory specification. The listing indicates it has been repainted, which is not ideal for a classic car's originality, and the Hermès interior, while luxurious, is a customization. The overall condition is described with some wear visible and requires minor reconditioning.
