1988 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL

Introduced for the 1986 model year as the long-wheelbase variant of the W126 S-Class, the Mercedes-Benz 300SEL combined the marque's renowned engineering, safety, and comfort with additional rear-seat accommodations. Built to exacting standards and equipped with advanced luxury features for its era, the W126 remains widely regarded as one of Mercedes-Benz's finest flagship platforms.

Showing approximately 3,100 kilometers (roughly 1,927 miles), this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL Limousine is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Blue-Black Metallic over Red velour upholstery. Factory equipment includes self-leveling suspension, automatic climate control, cruise control, a power sliding sunroof, heated and power-adjustable exterior mirrors, a Becker Mexico cassette radio, rear jump seats, rear reading lamps, and burled walnut wood trim. The selling dealer notes that the car remains unrestored and retains its factory-original paint, upholstery, and components throughout.

Specified with Code 623 for the Gulf States market, this example was factory-configured for operation in extreme environmental conditions. Regional equipment included a tropical-specification cooling system, high-capacity battery, heat-insulating glass, headlamp wiper system, and other market-specific enhancements intended to withstand prolonged exposure to heat, dust, and demanding operating conditions. Combined with its long-wheelbase configuration and self-leveling suspension, these export-market specifications make it a particularly uncommon W126 variant.
