Supplanting the 500 SEC as flagship of the Mercedes-Benz C126 range, the 560 SEC was launched at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Sharing the same basic M117 engine architecture as its lesser sibling, the new model employed a longer stroke and Bosch KE 111 Jetronic ignition. Credited with some 300bhp and 325lbft of torque in non-catalyst guise, the 560 SEC boasted four-speed automatic transmission as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6. 9 seconds and 150mph, the high-performance coupe proved a rewarding and enjoyable drive thanks to its all round independent suspension (complete with back axle acceleration stabiliser), four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted steering. The fastest, most powerful Mercedes-Benz of its generation, the 560 SEC was a strong seller with some 5, 299 despatched worldwide in 1989.
Finished in Diamond Blue Metallic complemented by a blue velour interior this UK-supplied example was first registered on 1st August 1988 and has been in long-term ownership. Registering some 163, 500 miles from new, it comes with a current MOT to July 2027, stamped service book, original handbook and a collection of old MOT certificates and sundry invoices.
