Comments from the seller
1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC
At 40, still the most beautiful car ever built, the grandest of the grand tourers.
SAFETY FEATURES:
Equipped with ABS brakes.
EXCITING FEATURES
On release, the 500SEC was arguably the most sophisticated production car on the road. This car features air conditioning, power steering, cruise control, central locking, front & rear power windows, power (passenger) door mirror, power front seats and sunroof.
Despite these advances, this model is fully analogue and is adored by both purists and modifiers for its workability. This car will appeal to all buyer groups.
The car has had only 3 stewards since delivery ex-factory in Stuttgart in 1985, all family friends. Driven through Europe initially and then privately shipped back to Australia, she was sold to another family friend for a brief period before entering the seller’s family in 1999. Since then, she has been a weekend/special drive specialist travelling only around 40k in the past quarter century under primary stewardship of the seller’s father, now deceased.
Mercedes-Benz coupes up to and including type 126 offer excellent value for those wishing to enter the classic car scene and this model is no exception. Care and routine maintenance will see this beautiful car enjoyed for its exceptional driving performance today whilst appreciating in value in future years as its classic status is confirmed.
The service history and maintenance on this car is extensively documented and she has enjoyed Mercedes-Benz specialist maintenance since 1985. The car presents very well and has been garaged or covered for the majority of its life. No maintenance or repairs have been missed. Recent replacement of engine mounts and suspension sees the car driving as well as the day she was delivered. RWC will be available to the new steward.
Inspection will not disappoint and is welcome to serious purchasers.
