AI Listing Summary

This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC is finished in Nautic Blue metallic with a cream leather interior and has covered just shy of 70,000 miles from new. Recent work includes a full respray, attention to the brakes and suspension, and the fitting of 16" AMG wheels, with the originals included.

Condition 

7

The car has benefited from a full respray, attention to the brakes and suspension, and the fitting of AMG wheels, suggesting careful maintenance and restoration work. The presence of original book packs, a service record with 32 stamps, and a detailed history file further indicate a well-documented and cared-for vehicle. However, the description also mentions that the car has covered just shy of 70,000 miles, indicating some usage, and the need for attention to brakes and suspension suggests that some wear and tear has occurred. Therefore, a rating of 7 seems appropriate.

Standard specification included heated electric seats with memory, a limited-slip differential, electric steering, self-levelling suspension and ABS.
