Description
This Mercedes-Benz W126 has been owned by our family from new and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely cherished example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s finest engineering eras.
Over the past decade, the vehicle has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration, with significant time, care and investment dedicated to returning the car to an exceptional standard while preserving originality. The aim was not modification, but restoration — keeping the vehicle as close as possible to its factory specification.
The car presents beautifully with excellent bodywork, a rust-free structure and a well-preserved original interior. It benefits from brand new Michelin tyres, new wheels, and includes a substantial collection of spare parts accumulated over many years of ownership.
Having been driven very little recently, the vehicle may benefit from a routine service and light tune-up purely as a matter of recommissioning, rather than due to any known faults.
Overall, this is a fully restored W126 that feels far newer than its age and remains true to the legendary Mercedes-Benz build quality of the period. Purchased new by my father and retained within the same family ever since
Genuine one-family ownership from new
Always privately owned and carefully looked after
Never modified or abused
Maintained with long-term ownership in mind rather than resale
During the last 10 years, the vehicle has undergone extensive restoration work, addressing mechanical, cosmetic and structural elements to ensure longevity and preservation.
All work was carried out with respect for originality, using original parts wherever possible. Alongside the vehicle comes a collection of spare parts gathered throughout ownership, reflecting the level of care and commitment given to the car.
This is not a recently acquired project — it is a lifetime family car restored properly over time.
