Notes
The Mercedes Benz W126 design introduced a series of flagship vehicles in 1979 that set impressive new standards of technological refinement, safety and comfort, earning worldwide recognition and acclaim. The twelve year manufacturing run ostensibly ended in 1991, though it is interesting to note that some production continued at the Mercedes Benz South African plant for a further 2+ years.
The 420 SEC was a 4.2 litre V8 engined two-door coupé version that came into being in 1985. The pillarless coupé was a comprehensively equipped express, providing comfortable accommodation for four adults with excellent ride and handling.
This particular example is finished in 'Pajett Red' (a metallic maroon) with beige velour upholstery. It is reported to be in excellent condition throughout, the list of equipment includes automatic transmission, tilt and slide steel sunroof, electric memory seats, radio/CD unit, remote central locking/alarm, ABS, cruise control and alloy wheels. Recorded mileage is 77406, with full service history, the last service having been at 71452 miles.
