Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL is a well-preserved W126 model with Lorinser upgrades, finished in black with mushroom leather. Recently serviced with new brakes and fuel system components, it requires a new MOT and comes from a deceased estate collection, offering a great opportunity to own a piece of 1980s Mercedes-Benz greatness.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in amazing condition, having been part of a deceased estate private collection since 2012. It starts, drives, and stops as expected. Recent expenditure on brake calipers, pads, fuel pump, filter, and ECU work suggests good mechanical upkeep. However, the MOT has recently expired, and the presence of Lorinser upgrades and the need for a new MOT suggests it is not in perfect, 'Pristine' condition.

Description
We are very pleased to bring to market this amazing Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL W126 model finished in black with mushroom leather and black piping with burr walnut trim - a right eyeful of German beauty and sophistication! On top of all that, it has some Lorinser upgrades in the form of the body kit, alloy wheels and steering wheel, all which make this car a very special piece of the 1980s.
This 560 was registered on 1/2/1989 to its first owner, and it has come to us from a deceased estate private collection where it has been owned since 2012.
Being in a collection, the MOT has recently expired so it will need a new one for future road use.
In July, the sum of £1852.11 was spent on the car with things like brake calipers x4, brake pads front and rear, fuel pump and filter, and work to the ECU.
The car starts, drives and stops as you would expect.
The big Mercedes has a matching set of Continental tyres, a period VDO radio and its original first aid kit in the rear parcel shelf.
