1989 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL (W126)
1989 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL W126 four-door long-wheelbase sedan finished in Nautical Blue Metallic with a grey leather interior. Rear-wheel drive, powered by a 4.2-litre M116 V8 petrol engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Odometer indicating 181,641 kilometres. Seating for five. Australian delivered.
Description / Overview:
The W126 S-Class is the benchmark for what a luxury car should be. Mercedes built them to last, and this 420SEL proves the point. The long-wheelbase body gives the rear passengers real room, the M116 V8 pulls smoothly from anywhere in the rev range, and the whole car carries itself with the kind of quiet authority that modern luxury sedans chase but rarely match.
This example received a closed-door respray approximately three years ago in the original factory Nautical Blue Metallic, and it shows. The paint is consistent, the gloss is there, and the panel gaps are factory-correct throughout. The vendor has also put recent money into the mechanical side: four new tyres, new front brake disc rotors and pads, new front wheel bearings, and a replacement windscreen. It is ready to drive. The air conditioning system is currently not blowing cold and will need a service. The dash has been covered and will require inspection. The rear window defroster element shows some deterioration.
This is a well-presented W126 with recent investment that is priced well for someone who wants to drive a genuine S-Class classic without restoration headaches. Inspection is recommended and Jason can be reached on 0447 827 970.
