Description
The Mercedes-Benz SEC remains one of the most elegant grand tourers ever produced and continues to offer exceptional value in the classic market. Offered here is a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC Automatic finished in timeless Astral Silver Metallic with a Black Leather interior and walnut veneer trim.
This is not a concours example, nor is it priced as one. Instead, it represents an affordable opportunity to own and enjoy one of Stuttgart’s finest creations without the premium often associated with top-condition cars.
The car is accompanied by a substantial history file containing invoices accumulated over many years. The most recent owner, who has cherished the vehicle since August 2012, has invested significantly in its upkeep.
Recent maintenance includes a full engine service with spark plugs, auxiliary belts, tensioner pulley, air-conditioning recharge, engine mounts, camshaft and rocker cover gaskets, fuel pump, alternator, battery, transmission service, front brake pads, rear window regulator, lower ball joint, upper suspension arm and anti-roll bar bushes, among much more.
As a result, the car drives exactly as a well-maintained SEC should, with excellent road manners and no unwanted knocks or rattles.
Also included are the original book packs, owner’s manuals and stamped service booklet. The original alloy wheels have recently been professionally powder-coated and are fitted with matching Hankook tyres with excellent tread.
MOT valid until May 2027.
Cosmetically, the car presents very well for its age. There are a few age-related marks and minor paint imperfections, but overall it remains a handsome and highly presentable example.
The interior is particularly impressive. The seats were refurbished two years ago and remain in excellent condition. There is some minor veneer lifting in places, a common issue on cars of this era. The headlining is clean and free from rips or tears.
A highly usable and increasingly collectible modern classic, offering V8 luxury, timeless styling and genuine value.
