Lot 113: 1988 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC Coupe

The Mercedes-Benz SEC was first introduced at the 1981 Frankfurt Motor Show where its fluent elegance caused a ripple of excitement amongst the traditional Mercedes buying public. Developed from the W126 saloon of the S Class series, the shape of this coupe showed clearly its heritage; however its front end had a lower sportier looking profile. Absolutely the best materials went into the production of this top line coupe which included all of safety demands of the S Class saloons as well as a generously comfortable arrangement of controls and excellent utilisation of available space. The V8 light alloy fuel injected petrol engine was modified to achieve the highest possible torque at low engine speeds. The car we offer today is presented in blue with contrasting black leather interior. RAY 730N is presented with many expensive optional extras including electric sunroof, leather interior, electric memory seats, air conditioning, cruise control, CD boot changer/stereo, spoilers, and remote locking alarm. In good general order the car has a history file containing a full service history, many bills for maintenance work undertaken and old MoTs. It is also supplied with the V5 log book, and current MOT certificate along with the service and handbooks.
