History: This Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL W126, representing the second generation of the S-Class after the W116, was delivered new in France and has remained on French territory ever since. Its history is clear: the first owner owned it from 1983 to 1988, the second from 1988 to 2021, and the third has been the current owner ever since.
This 500 SEL has a full maintenance file and original on-board documents.
Condition:
General: Both aesthetically and mechanically, this 500 SEL is in excellent presentable condition.
Exterior: The bodywork is remarkably well preserved, with no visible deformation or damage. The paintwork, which has been partially redone, is tightly stretched and has a superb sheen, as do the chrome elements throughout the vehicle. The wheels are also in perfect condition, having been restored a few years ago.
Interior: The original gray velvet upholstery looks good, despite a few minor signs of ageing. This Mercedes is a luxury sedan, and for its time it is particularly well equipped: electric seats (even in the rear!), electric sunroof, automatic air-conditioning, electric rear-view mirror, electric windows, cruise control... All this equipment is operational. There are also a number of particularly well-preserved solid wood inserts, with their varnish intact.
Mechanics: The powertrain and running gear are in excellent condition. The engine works perfectly, and the automatic transmission ensures smooth gearshifts. The hydraulic suspensions, which contribute to the car's exceptional on-board comfort, have recently been overhauled. As a result, the car's roadholding is excellent.
Underbody : The car's underpinnings are sound and corrosion-free. Photos are available on request.
