This W126-generation Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL is a cosseting yet robust modern classic luxury sedan, which benefits from a recent respray. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, delivering around 157kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This original Australian-market example was first registered in April 1990, and has been with the seller for one year. The odometer shows 319,586 Kms from new. This W126-era 420 SEL is finished in a timeless shade of silver over a blue leather-trimmed interior, punctuated by burr walnut root trim. It rides on an aftermarket set of 17-inch five-spoke monoblock ‘Hammer’-replica alloy wheels, which are fitted with mixed Michelin tyres. Equipment includes headlamp washers, a green top-tinted windscreen, an electric tilt/slide sunroof, cruise control, automatic air conditioning, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, electric windows, self-levelling suspension and undershields, and electrically adjustable front seats with two-position driver memory. This example has been fitted with a Pioneer CD multichanger unit. The car comes with a spare wheel, a jack, a warning triangle, tools, two keys, the owner’s manuals with a black leather wallet, and the stamped service booklet. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car was resprayed in silver in 2024, and there are slight areas of wear on the front seats. The seller notes that the CD player is not working, and while the original radio is installed it is not receiving a signal. However, the antenna has been replaced and it is working. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted in 2024, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This 420 SEL’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in 2024 at around 330,000 Kms by Fratelli Motors, which consisted of a general service. Other notable maintenance includes the antenna being replaced, and the starter motor being replaced/reconditioned recently. 2024 - 330,000 Kms (Approx) - Fratelli Motors Apr 2008 - 300,121 Kms - Euro Point Prestige Mercedes-Benz Aug 2006 - 293,811 Kms - Euro Point Prestige Mercedes-Benz Jan 2005 - 270,569 Kms - Euro Point Prestige Mercedes-Benz May 2002 - 210,385 Kms - Euro Point Prestige Mercedes-Benz Oct 2001 - 200,043 Kms - Euro Point Prestige Mercedes-Benz Apr 2001 - 190,454 Kms - Euro Point Prestige Mercedes-Benz Sep 2000 - 179,703 Kms - Merc Point Motors Mercedes-Benz Mar 2000 - 169,855 Kms - Merc Point Motors Mercedes-Benz Sep 1999 - 157,800 Kms - Merc Point Motors Mercedes-Benz May 1999 - 149,131 Kms - Merc Point Motors Mercedes-Benz Jun 1998 - 137,986 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz Oct 1997 - 129,614 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz May 1997 - 119,708 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz Oct 1996 - 109,603 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz Jun 1996 - 99,654 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz Jan 1996 - 91,670 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz Jul 1995 - 79,825 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz Jan 1995 - 70,024 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz Oct 1994 - 60,289 Kms - West Star Motors Mercedes-Benz Mar 1994 - 57,320 Kms - Lanes Motors Pty Ltd Mercedes-Benz May 1993 - 40,471 Kms - Lanes Motors Pty Ltd Mercedes-Benz Sep 1992 - 31,074 Kms - Lanes Motors Pty Ltd Mercedes-Benz Nov 1991 - 19,630 Kms - Lanes Motors Pty Ltd Mercedes-Benz Mar 1991 - 10,730 Kms - Lanes Motors Pty Ltd Mercedes-Benz Apr 1990 - 1,831 Kms - Lanes Motors Pty Ltd Mercedes-Benz This W126-generation Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL is a capable and cosseting modern classic luxury sedan, which benefits from a recent respray.
