The Appeal

The W126 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE is widely regarded as one of the finest executive saloons of the 1980s. This was an era when Mercedes-Benz were arguably the best car manufacturer in the world, with unrivalled build quality and top-notch interiors that still feel incredibly comfortable decades later.
This 1989 example has been in the hands of its current keeper since 1995. During that time, it has benefited from a full respray and mechanical work, including a new fuel tank, fuel pump, and valve stem oil seals. We're informed the car starts and runs very well and is lovely to drive. Accompanied by some dealer and garage service history and with an MOT valid until August 2027, this handsome saloon is bound to impress its lucky new keeper.
