1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SE (W126)

The W126 was the flagship 'S' class of the Mercedes-Benz range between 1979 and 1991. The entry level was the very popular 280SE, which later became the 300SE in Sep 1985, when Mercedes developped an all new fuel efficient 'Energy Program' range of engines, including the new 3.0 litre straight six.

This 300SE is from 1987 and is in exceptional condition today, having been on display in the Mercedes-Benz World Museum at Brooklands in Surrey, until very recently. The factory have inspected and maintained this car whilst under their care and regard as it as one of the best and most original right hand drive cars available today. Originally sold new to Japan, it was built in Alpine White with blue velour upholstery and featured factory options including velour upholstery, alloy wheels, air conditionning, a 'Becker' stereo system and park distance control. Mercedes-Benz have modified the car to full UK spec and it has now recorded just 48,429 Kms (30,000 miles) from new. The car comes with a known provenance and service history and an MOT until October 2016. The speedo has been modified by a factory decal to read in MPH, although the odometer still records Kms.

Offered at a very realistic price guide - it is an opportunity to buy a later classic that although nearly 30 years old, still has the luxury of air conditionning, ABS and a comfortable ride!
