Merc 1000SEL? Yes 1 thousand?

I've seen a white SEC for sale with 1000 on it.

The fact the badge is in gold guarantees I have no interest in it whatsoever.
 
Pontoneer will have a 'moment' when he sees this.
 
Will it ever sell? Been listed many time on ebay.

That car would have been the equivalent price of a Maybach when it was new. Looks like it has a Becker Mexico still in it and Gotti alloys. Both worth a few quid on their own.
 
This is a car for Gas Monkey garage to fix it up and resell it.
 
Used to see loads of these floating about the Mayfair area in the mid-eighties.
Some of the SEC’s were fitted with gullwing doors and there were plenty of 6 door SEL’s as well. All though were sporting Arabic plates.

There is what looks like a dealer sticker in the back window of this car Symdol Park Lane?

Park Lane is the home to a number of dealerships. We even saw Mike Tyson at the MacLaren showroom in Jan 2000 when he was here to fight Julius Francis.

I don’t remember Symdol and Google throws up a big fat zero as well.
 
What is the betting there is a copy of "Debbie Does Dallas" stuck in that video recorder between the front seats? :p

That's because it's a letter 'b' ;)

Symbol British Motor Limited of Park Lane does throw up a few Google hits and seems to be also linked to a dealer called Chameleon Limited. They seemed to specialise in the type of mad 80's cars Darrell already mentioned, e.g. 6-door SELs, plus also 6-wheel Range Rovers.

There is even a link to their brochure for the Merc 1000SEL! Chameleon 1000 SEL (Mercedes Benz S-Class) Brochure 1983 AR - Veikl

Wow well done on the detective work. There is an SEL just like it in red in the Chameleon brochure. Classy! :D
 
Pity there is no reg number visible for the usual checks. Maybe foreign registered? Did any of the Gulf states have RHD cars?
 
"The Chameleon Car Company SUBTLY enhances and personalises the worlds finest automobiles" - Subtle is not a word I would use :)

...and companies like Mansory & Khan are still dedicated even today to the "subtle" art of vehicle enhancement. :D

Must be some demand somewhere.
 
Anybody know the where abouts of this car ?
