1989 Mercedes-Benz S-Class W126 Sedan

This Mercedes-Benz (W126) 300 SE is a well-presented modern classic luxury saloon, in a sleek Arctic White hue and fitted with some desirable options. Under the bonnet sits a 3.0-litre straight-six engine, developing around 132kW and sending it to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This example has been with its current owner for four years. The odometer indicates 133,979 kilometres from new. This example is finished in Arctic White over a Grey leather-trimmed interior with burr walnut inlays, and with a contrasting black steering wheel and gear knob. It rides on 15-inch alloy wheels, fitted with a set of Pirelli Cinturato tyres. Desirable features on this example include alloy wheels, a power sunroof, cruise control, self-levelling suspension, automatic climate control, and a driver’s airbag. The original owner’s manuals accompany the sale, as well as two keys with remotes. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car has previously suffered minor rear bumper damage which has since been repaired. The car comes with original service books and supplementary service book, which the seller reports – along with the accompanying file of service invoices – demonstrates that the car has been pampered in the hands of its collector owners over the years. This W126-generation Mercedes-Benz 300 SE offers a great opportunity to acquire a solid example of this attractive 1980s saloon, which is reported to be in very good overall condition. Being a 1989 model-year car, this represents the latest model series to be shipped to Australia and it comes with the upgrades of soft leather and driver’s side airbag. The car is currently registered with Historic plates and is a member of the Mercedes-Benz Club (NSW) where it has been presented in a number of events.
