This W126-generation Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL is a striking example of the elegant and luxurious saloon, which remains highly original with very low mileage for its age. It is powered by a 157kW 4.2-litre M116 V8, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. This Australian-market example is reported to be a three-owner car, and was purchased by the seller from a private collection. The odometer shows 51,704 Km, which the seller understands to be the genuine total from new. The W126-generation Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL is finished in Blue Black Metallic, over an Orion Grey leather-trimmed interior, punctuated by walnut veneer inlay trims. It rides on 15-inch flat-faced alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin tyres. Equipment includes electrically adjustable front seats with two-position driver’s memory, an electric steel sunroof, cruise control, electric windows all around, a radio cassette player, and a headlight cleaning system. The Mercedes-Benz is accompanied by its owner’s pack, service book, two keys, and a specification list. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The trip meter is not working and there is a squeak that appears to be coming from the door card. The last maintenance was a service in September 2023 at 51,681 Km by Mercedes-Benz specialist Peter Lennox Automotive. This included an engine oil and oil filter change and the fitment of a new ignition coil. It was serviced by Coastar MB Service in June 1999 at 40,218 Km. Further entries in the accompanying service book were stamped in March 1996, September 1994, February 1992, and July 1990. Mercedes-Benz (NSW) conducted the PDI in March 1990. Showing very low mileage for its age, this 1990 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL is a stylish and sophisticated cruiser from the famously ‘over-engineered’ era of the German manufacturer. The well-specified Australian-market car will appeal to marque collectors, and this practical modern classic could also be a solid daily driver or a fun car for weekend touring and road trips.
