As per the title , my old 500 SEL is now breaking .
The friend I gave it away to has now decided it is too far gone to be worth repairing .
This is a 1986 , post facelift , W126 500SEL in 199 Blue/Black with mushroom leather interior ( the later facelift style ) , 2 electric front seats , and electric reclining rear bench .
The interior is not mint , but in reasonable condition . The burr walnut wood is in very nice condition ( or was when I last saw it ) . Carpets are in fairly nice condition .
The engine , gearbox & diff are all good ( as above ) .
Bodywork is crusty round the edges , and there is serious rot underneath , but bumpers have very good chrome and all cladding is present and complete .
While the car suffered the usual rot under the rear window , and this went down into the boot and rotted the floor area while the car was standing these last couple of years , I had obtained a good , clean and dry set of boot carpets which should still be with the car .
The full stainless steel exhaust system , supplied and fitted by PD Gough , is still with the car .
I passed on a full LPG kit , SLS suspension kit and lots of other parts along with the car - I don't know how much of these he still has .
The wheels have been sold . I have asked for the ABS front wheel sensors , cruise control bits , , illuminated visors , electric aerial and battery back ; pretty much everything else is available .
The car is located in Ayrshire .
For all enquiries , please contact James on 07873 345 279
Edit - oh , there were two front wings , unfortunately the same side ( can't remember which ) , one was genuine MB , the other was a pattern wing .
and there's a tow bar ( Watling )
