Welcome to the auction of this extremely rare set of W126 rear seats featuring Option 224: "Front & Rear Single Seats, Left and Right, Electrically Adjustable; Front Seats With Memory Control, Electric Headrest Adjustment & Ruffled Pockets". This factory option cost thousands of dollars when these cars were new, and thus was very rarely ordered by customers. It offered 4-place seating in the W126 long-wheelbase sedan, with heated and reclining rear seats and controls. The seats looked visually similar to the ones that came standard in the C126 coupe, but the heating and reclining capabilities were unique only to this option code in the SEL. Today, these seats are among the most coveted parts in the W126 community due to their rarity, functionality, and novelty. This set features everything: all necessary trim, motors, harnesses, hardware and framing. The functions in this set are untested, since this is how I bought them. I was told the pieces were removed from three separate cars: a 1986 560SEL, a 1987 560SEL, and a 1988 560SEL. The interior colors seen are Black leather (271), Palomino leather (274), and Creme-Beige leather (275). This seat pattern was used through the 1988 model year; the 1989–91 models had different seat pads, which the top center cushion in this set is from. It goes without saying that whoever buys this set would want all the colors to match, so I contacted GAHH Upholstery in Los Angeles and asked them what they could do. They told me that the coupe upholstery kit they make should fit the seats perfectly, since they just made one for a customer in Lebanon and was told it fit. Whoever buys these will have a truly unique and highly desirable option in their W126. Thanks for your consideration!$250 bid placed by @Johan
