UK-supplied example with long-term ownership history
Solid bodywork with the underside reported to be in very good condition
Supplied with stamped service book, original handbook, old MOT certificates, and sundry invoices
MOT valid until July 2027
The Appeal
Powered by a 5.6-litre V8 and wrapped in the elegant pillarless coupé bodywork that defined luxury grand touring in the late 1980s, the 560 SEC remains one of the most desirable Mercedes-Benz models of its era. This was an era when Mercedes-Benz were simply the best car manufacturer in the world, and they remain endlessly popular - executive-style machines that feel timeless, clean and comfortable to this day.
This 1988 example is a UK-supplied car finished in Diamond Blue Metallic over a blue velour interior. It benefits from long-term ownership and comes accompanied by a stamped service book, original handbook, a collection of old MOT certificates, and sundry invoices documenting its life.
The vendor tells us that it always starts first time and drives as it should. It's a fine machine, and we're sure it'll garner plenty of interest at auction.image.png1.92 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
