@johndog1957Hello and welcome. Thank you for your compliments ! Thats generally how this works, where all the action happens at the end ! Stay tuned
@mrmercedes1947Hello - Yes photos of this car were posted in "Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class Group on Facebook and featured in Automobile Archaeology. Thanks !
@sirmathrocksThank you for the compliment. Your production #'s are off. That is from 1986-1991. 1991 being the rarest, as the least were imported the final production year, and are thus the most desirable. According to a quick google search, only a few thousand 560SEL's were imported in 1991.. At that point you would then need to factor in this rare color, then factor that it also has additional options such as the ortho seats, power sunshade, and ASR. How many were optioned EXACTLY like this ?... Fast forward practically 34 years later.. How many are left in this condition with this spec and with this low mileage... She's a rare one !
I'd like to thank everyone that has chimed in on this auction and especially those that have flown in / drove to come see the car in person. If anyone has final questions they would like to ask, I will be available in my office all day to respond. Lets have some fun and enjoy the final hours of this exciting auction ! Good luck to all of those bidding.

@MiggieHello, and thank you for your inquiry. Yes, you are more than welcome to come see the car in person. Please send me a private message with your contact info using the "message seller" button so we can make arrangements.
@JoeyBenz08This car has been privately serviced by an on staff mechanic, and with all genuine parts. Thank you.
4 videos, along with undercarriage photos and paint meter readings have been uploaded to @thembmarket. Stay tuned to see them added to the gallery / listing shortly.
@CbrandoIt was a pleasure speaking to you and I am glad I was able to answer all of your questions. We both share a great passion for these vehicles. Good Luck bidding !
@dean_Laumbach Thank you for your kindness and compliments, they are greatly appreciated. Ditto on the color combo and options ! - If this car was still in production to this day and I was asked to go build it just the way id want it, this is the exact way I would have it. Top of the line trim level, Big 560, Final production year and in this exact color combo with these selected options. It really sets itself apart from the common silver, black and gray that is so widely seen when us enthusiasts think "W126". The power rear sunshade does indeed work, and a video of its functionality as well as an in depth walk around / paint meter readings of the vehicle will be added to the listing shortly. Cheers.
@ottobenz Hello and thank you for your compliments, they are appreciated. This car was left with the standard 5 seater option as you had mentioned for more room and functionality.
@James2JimIt is indeed a dream to drive, at any speed.. but she sure does love the highway !
@Hans74Hello and thank you for your question. When my family bought this car new, they opted to have the dealer install maroon contrasting carpets instead of the beige. They ARE Original Mercedes Benz Floor Mats and are in great condition.
@EmmaLab Agreed ! Michelins are the only way to go. I even went ahead and replaced the spare with a brand new matching Michelin due to age for safe measure.
@AlexW Hello and thank you for your inquiry. This car is fully functional, as is every option on it. All windows work, and at the proper factory speed; Up & down. The sunroof slides back quickly and quietly, with factory grease applied on all moving parts. It also tilts up and down as intended and closes at the appropriate height. The AC blows cold, and the Heat blows hot. Radio / Cassette, Antenna, Vacuum door locks, Exterior & Interior lights all work. The car starts up smooth and idles as smooth as glass. Its shifts are smooth and steering response is precise. There are no creaks, rattles or weird noises inside or out. This is truly an example you dont want to miss out on. Additional photos will be added to the gallery tomorrow as well as multiple videos.
@AMG5pt4 Thank you for your detailed comment, and compliments. I agree that this is truly a stunning example that is better than what money can buy new today. While some parts are indeed becoming rare, well kept all original examples of these W126 classics are becoming even rarer.
@mikelaca Hello, and thank you for your inquiry. Receipts of all the recent items purchased on the vehicle will be uploaded tomorrow. The work on this car has always been performed by a certified on staff technician.
@VirafpMore undercarriage pics will be uploaded tomorrow along with a walk around video. Thank you for your interest in this beautiful example.
@SkiSullivanthank you for catching that. I appreciate it. Also Bruno * not Bruna. Please review and edit the above mentioned issues @thembmarket
