1000 SEC Convertible Spotted

[mattjones]

So, there I was nipping up to the local Tesco and I saw this beast - replete with snow chains - parking up.

I've never heard of a 1000 SEC, but here it is!

I got chatting to the bloke and he claims to have quite a collection, including a W123 500 SEC rag-top. He's owned this one from new and claims it's undergone extensive engine modifications. He let me look under the bonnet but I couldn't see anything obvious.

Anyhow, does anybody know any more info on these?

No , just a 500 trying to stand out from the crowd .

I thought I saw one of these on the A24 a few months back but my friend thought I was insane.
