1984 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 500SEC

KEY FACTS A refined and highly desirable modern classic pillarless luxury coupe, this C126-generation Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC is a flagship grand tourer with a rare specification. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This example was originally a UK-delivered model, which was first registered in September 1984. It was later exported to Australia, where it passed compliance in 1995. The odometer indicates 167,000 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1984 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES The C126-generation SEC represented Mercedes-Benz’s flagship coupe of the era, combining advanced engineering, understated styling, and long-distance refinement. This example is enhanced with a reportedly dealer-optioned exterior AMG-style bodykit, including front wings, side skirts, rear bumper, front bumper, rear spoiler, and alloy wheels. It is finished in the refined shade of Classic White, over a Blue velour cloth-trimmed interior, punctuated by wood veneer trim. The car rides on a set of 16-inch ‘Penta’ five-spoke alloy wheels finished in metallic grey with brushed lips, fitted with Kenda Radial Komet SPT-1 tyres. Equipment includes headlamp washers, cruise control, a Hitachi cassette stereo, dual-zone air conditioning, an electric sunroof, a top-tinted windscreen, electrically adjustable front seats, a limited-slip differential, and electrically operated windows and door mirrors. The car is also equipped with UK-market instrumentation displaying miles and English-language legends, along with asymmetrical headlamps for left-hand traffic. It will be supplied with the original owner’s handbook and manuals, original UK import documentation, a collection of service records and receipts, the partially stamped service booklet, and one key.
