The W126 was the flagship series for Mercedes-Benz. Debuted in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 range, the W126 was the second generation to officially bear the S-Class name referring to Sonderklasse or 'special class'. The W126 was initially offered with straight-six, V8, and turbo diesel engine saloon cars but in September 1981, a two door coupe version of the W126 was introduced. Compared to its predecessor, the W126 was more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, capacious, and powerful. The W126 S-Class sported a new Mercedes-Benz design style which was subsequently used on other vehicles in the company's line-up. The W126 line also introduced many Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pre-tensioners and traction control system.

This nice example is presented in metallic dark blue with cream leather interior and has the benefit of an electric sunroof. This example sits on a set of AMG wheels and has electric windows, electric front seats, radio and air conditioning (currently not working). We are informed by the vendor that the handbrake and rear window curtain are not currently working. It comes with a MoT test certificate which expires in October 2025. These luxurious coupes were the envy of many and the preferred choice of model for the 'well healed' in business and it still looks great today. Consigned by James Good
