The Appeal

Back when it seemed Mercedes-Benz could do no wrong, the W126 was an undeniable triumph. It's often regarded as the last of the true 'rock-solid' Mercs before the company changed strategy, and proved its worth in spades. Handsomely styled, a comfortable cabin and fine performance made for a winning executive car at its very best.

This particular example is a rare, rare opportunity - a genuine one-owner car with just 19,830 miles that has never before been offered for sale on the open market. Stemming from the last year of production, this handsome car has been stored in a dry garage for much of its life. Recently recommissioned with a comprehensive service including all new fluids, filters, and a professional detail, this car is now ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
