SUMMARY
Bruno Sacco's deft touch with the second-generation S-Class Coupé still draws admiring glances today.
DESCRIPTION
- Registered in 1982, this 500SEC (C126) is reported to be the first on UK roads, #2,106 off the production line, with the majority not appearing until 1983-4
- Powered by a 4,973cc fuel-injected V8 producing 261bhp with a 4-speed automatic box, power-assisted steering, ABS brakes, cruise control and 16'' staggered penta alloys
- Finished in Astral Silver Metallic with AMG-influenced bodywork over a blue Recaro leather interior with wood inlays
- The original specification includes electric windows, air conditioning, cruise control, and electric front seats. Fitted with the extremely rare AMG-optioned original Clarion G80 stereo system
- Treated to a full restoration three years ago at ERB Motors in Portsmouth including a bare-metal respray, engine and gearbox rebuild, and new suspension, although the priority was to keep as close as possible to the original factory specification
- Supplied with original handbooks, stamped service book, invoices for restoration and photographs, tool kit and the registration, 500 EXS, will remain with the car
- These beautiful coupés are becoming collectable now and values continue to firm
