Mercedes-Benz produced the W126 chassis series as its top-line sedan from 1979–1991, and the zenith of desirability was reached with the SEC in 1985, with the designation short for Sonderklasse Enspritzmotor Coupé (fuel-injected superior-class coupé). This was a stately, yet practical coupé that could easily be used on a daily basis, with a host of advanced comfort equipment for the era.

Mercedes-Benz Flagship Sports Coupe

Completed in May of 1987, 344180 was acquired new on August 1, 1987 through Pepé Mercedes-Benz of White Plains, New York by its first only owner Mr. Lavinga. The SEL would reside in Harrison, NY for the next 30+ years with selective exercise, care, and meticulous preservation as it presents today. With just 23,000 recorded miles, the Mercedes remains thoroughly original, including the untouched Blue-Black Metallic paint (see paint meter photos) over Gray trim and Gray leather upholstery. All glass retains their factory etchings, as well as the Daimler-Benz decal on the front windscreen and radio alarm warning on the rear quarters. In fact, ALL decals, plaques and VIN stickers remain adhered to all areas of the vehicle.

The cabin displays supple factory upholstery paired to the original Becker Grand Prix radio and working electronic equipment - including instruments, safety restraints, steering column, mirrors, sunroof and much more. Its air conditioning blows ice cold, even in Texas heat. Above the rear seat, an untouched first aid kit is stored within the rear parcel shelf. The driver's airbag was replaced by Mercedes-Benz in September 1997. Both the engine and luggage compartments appear orderly, unmodified and exceptionally clean with correct equipment. An original spare assembly is neatly stowed the rear, along with a tool roll, jack, and again, all original tags and decals. Likewise, the 560's underside display original Cosmoline, paint pens markings, zinc coatings, exhaust, identification decals and components.

The SEC drives, performs, and handles as expected from such a maintained and preserved low-mileage example. It benefits from recent servicing and detailing which included a new battery, oil and filters, a/c recharge (COLD A/C), rear struts, bushings, and correct Continental tires as delivered new. In addition to the aforementioned emergency equipment, the 560 SEC is complete with what appears to be all original matching books, Data Plate, cards and manuals in vinyl folio, M-B touch-up paint set, clean Carfax and AutoCheck reports.
