1989 MERCEDES-BENZ 560 SEC - GREY - 255,912KM - W126 FLAGSHIP COUPE WITH FULL HISTORY
1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC, 2-door pillarless coupe, 5.6-litre M117 V8, 4-speed automatic, indicating 255,912 km, 5 seats.
Description
The W126 560 SEC is one of the great flagship coupes of the 1980s. Big, elegant, mechanically proven, and built to a standard that most modern cars cannot match. This one, built October 1989, has been in the same hands for a decade and comes with original paperwork including a stamped service book from Peter Lennox Automotive, a respected Melbourne Mercedes specialist. That kind of provenance on a 35-year-old W126 coupe is genuinely uncommon.
It runs the 5.6-litre M117 V8 through a 4-speed automatic, finished in grey over grey-green perforated leather. The dashboard is uncracked, which is a rarity on W126s that have lived in Australian conditions. Headliner is intact with no sag, the rear seats are outstanding, and the burl walnut trim shows only expected hazing for the age. An Alpine head unit and rear subwoofer have been fitted.
The vendor has spent around $10,000 on maintenance and upgrades over the years, including a fuel pump replacement, front end work, fresh lowered stance, and a stereo upgrade. The car presents as a running, modified classic daily driver rather than a numbers-matching show piece.
Note on wheels: the listing described these as 19-inch Lorenzo rims. Tyre sidewalls in photos confirm 245/40 R18, making these 18-inch rims. The style is European split-rim, possibly Lorinser or similar, not Lorenzo.
