This W126-generation Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC is an attractive and elegant pillarless coupe, presented in good overall condition. Under the bonnet is a fuel-injected 5.5-litre V8, which produces around 220kW / 295bhp, and sends it to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. The odometer currently displays 162,476 km from new. This rare Australian-delivered example is believed to be one of as few as four 560 SECs in the country, and it is understood to be unique in colour among these four. This 560 SEC comes finished in the rare factory hue of Pajett Red metallic, with beige leather interior upholstery, a black dashboard and elegant wood inlays. It rides on the correct set of 15-inch flat-faced alloy wheels, shod in Maxxis tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes electrically adjustable front memory seats, electric windows, rear headrests, cruise control, a Becker Mexico 2000 radio cassette player, and rear seat luggage nets. An aftermarket phone holder has been installed on the centre console, which also features a microphone mounted on the driver’s side A-pillar. Its original owner’s manuals and a collection of maintenance invoices are included. The Pajett Red metallic paintwork is reported to be in generally good condition, showing light minor wear such as stone chipping and small markings expected from a car of its age. This includes some small scratches, which are documented in the image gallery. The seller notes the sunroof requires attention, as it opens and closes but the action is slow, the car’s aerial appears to also need attention and is lying flat on the rear window. Inside, the cabin presents well for its age and mileage, with some generally minor wear on the seats, though with a more noticeable area of scuffing and discolouration on the driver’s seat outer bolster. There is also some wear on the lower back portions of the front seats and around the door sills, from entering and exiting the rear seats. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. The latest service was carried out at 162,000 km. The work comprised of a fuel tank clean and refill, and the removal and replacement of the fuel pump. Prior to this, the seller notes the car had regular engine oil and filter changes. This W126-generation Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC is a rare and elegant modern classic coupe, with a desirable and lesser-seen factory colour scheme. It has been used as intended but presents in good order for its age, and it is now ready to be enjoyed by its next owner, whether pressed into daily use or savoured for weekend drives.
