This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC shows 107k original miles from new and was acquired by the seller in 2019 when they exported the coupe to Kuwait. The car is finished in Black (040) over Black Leather (261) and powered by a fuel-injected 5.5-liter V8 paired to a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes fog lights, a power sunroof, cruise control, automatic climate control, and power-adjustable and heated front seats w/memory. Recent service includes an oil service, brake service, and new brake pads. This C126 is offered by the current owner in Kuwait with two keys, the original owner’s manual, tool roll, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Kuwait title and registration in the seller’s name.
The body is finished in Black (040) with gray lower cladding and bumpers. Exterior features include an electric metal sunroof with tilt function, fog lights, chrome trim, a power antenna, body-colored mirrors, and headlight washers. The seller notes normal wear including some rock chips on the nose of the car, light scratches along the body, and a spot showing clear coat failure. Detailed photos can be seen in the gallery.
Factory Gullideckel wheels are wrapped in Pirelli P4 tires measuring 215/70 on all four corners and displaying 2018 date codes. Braking is handled by disc brakes behind each wheel. New pads were installed and a brake fluid flush was performed in January of 2024.
The cabin features Black Leather (261) across the seats, door cards, armrest, and headrests. The black dashboard and center console are accented with Burl Walnut veneer which shows some light fading and wear. Amenities include heated and power-adjustable front seats, a dual-tone horn, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an original Becker head unit. Detailed photos of the interior show the leather, dash, and veneer.
The wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and a combination gauge for coolant temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and fuel economy. The six-digit odometer shows 107k miles from new.
The 5.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch Jetronic fuel injection and was factory-rated at 238 horsepower with 287 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Recent service includes an oil service, brake service, and new brake pads.
The Carfax report lists linear mileage updates and no accidents or damage since new along with a clean history. This C126 is offered by the current owner in Kuwait with two keys, the original owner’s manual, tool roll, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Kuwait title and registration in the seller’s name.

In regard of the car payments, can this be done in the US? I mean I’m more comfortable performing the transaction between US bank accounts?

Hi there, I’m not sure if I understood you well, did you mean the seat movement controls? Yes, it’s fully functional and no issues or lack of power. Referring to the under the car, I created two movies on each side (drive over type) to show how rust free it’s. Thanks Video 1. : https://youtu.be/oA-r6E1hJUo?feature=shared Video 2: https://youtu.be/RK1qYcMV0NA?si=VJAPrEgoFxIFKUJq Please feel free if you have any further question
Just quick question on the hood isolator, it seems that the videos shows the remaining older pad, meanwhile the last picture shows while it was installed. So how far are the pictures from each other? Some other questions : - Does the seats fully operated? - Is it possible to get underneath pictures of the car?

Thanks for the bid, actually the video were suppose to be placed in the top, I informed the MBMarket team and hopefully they will take care of it soon. Regarding the jobs made to this car, I usually work on these cards in the good weather time here in Kuwait. Last October, I replaced and made the following tasks to this car: - Replaced and installed new Airfilter - Replaced and installed new A/C compressor (Due to a noticeable sounds in teh previous one) bought it from the states and shipped it and installed it in Kuwait it came with full kit (the black can) - installed new fuel injector kit including the sparks. - installed new valve seal gasket on both heads. - Replaced the EHA Fuel Valve. - Installed new Fuel pressure valve - replaced the fuel filter - replaced the differential fluid - Replaced the four rotors and pads (Geniune MB) and flushed the brake fluids. - installed new Bosch 100amps battery. Other jobs made recently after that - Oil and Filter - New hood liner - clean and greased the four window motors All parts were imported from US (Mainly from Mercedes Source) , fluids are available here in Kuwait
Thanks for the detailed illustrations, It would be great if the videos attached below is shown in the top. (Just feedback) The exterior detailing looks great, has it been painted? What are the recent work jobs made in this car?

@6thinline9 But thinking about it, it will be great option for those living out of the US. I can see that the seller is offering full logistics, which is the most important thing in here. This could be a nightmare for some countries. But Kuwait and the Gulf States is straight forward due to the TAXation laws.
Too bad it was exported. Seems like the fees for doing that — and shipping / importing it somewhere else — will exceed the cars value.

does anyone actually know what causes the cluster holder to get diseased like that
@Ranger902 Hi there as stated roughly 4-5K by container. I will get the latest quote tomorrow (which port are you close to)?
Good morning , thanks for the interest in this SEC. This is one of my private collection, the only SEC to be offered, i will have another 260SE 1988, 560SEL listed soon . It was stored in air conditioned garage since it was imported to Bahrain then to Kuwait. and only driven rarely during winter and springs of Kuwait (never driven during rain in Kuwait) . It has lived its life in thr States until 2019. Then came to Kuwait after that. The paint is original and just performed an intisive detailing at one of the famous locations in Kuwait. The chrome and brightwork are in exceptional shape without corrosion or pitting. The interior is all original and shows little to no wear. It has recently had an oil change and inspection performed. It drives and handles well. No mechanical issues. A/C and all elements works perfectly. No leaks . Power windows and accessories all work normally. Shipping: Will work on all shipping and export documents and prepare it for 20ft container. Cost to USA is roughly $4,000 to $5,000 to port. (Will confirm depending on port) Europe is less.
