1991 | Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC

At the time of its production, the Mercedes C126 Coupé was considered the best car in the world. And even today, people understand this title. 
It is based on the shortened body of the Mercedes W126 saloon. By further stiffening the body, it was possible to do without the B-pillar; a very elegant feature then as now. The modified snout with wider grille and narrower headlights also underline the timeless elegance of this classic. 
The 560 SEC offered here, is one of the last cars built that has undergone all model maintenance and detail improvements. The car has a complete history and is in new condition. 

The Mercedes C126 left the factory in Stuttgart on 22/07/91. From there it was shipped to California where it was registered to Mr. Lowe on 29.09.92. At the time of delivery, the car had a proven mileage of 58 miles. Mr Lowe invested in a 10-year maintenance contract with Mercedes. There are no gaps in these maintenance records. He drove the car approximately 26,000 miles until February 2013. 

On 20.01.14 this Mercedes 560 SEC was bought by Mr H., a renowned tax consultant and 126 collector, in California and shipped back to Germany. He took the car into his collection, Europeanised, refined, and detailed it. In the course of this, the somewhat larger rims of the R129 were also installed. 
In March 2015, due to several small scratches, the car was completely painted to shine in new car condition. In the course of the work, the underbody was ice-blasted, completely checked for accident-free condition and treated with Mike Sanders wax. 
Mr. H. also had the following work carried out:

• Covering of the headliner in Alcantara
• Change of the hardy discs
