W126 560 SEL - New Owner

[WigeonIncognito]

Hi all,

I'm a regular on a few other forums but after an itch that has lasted many a year I've finally found my big Mercedes.

The original advert is here:-

Mercedes Benz 560 SEL 1988 For Sale (1988) on Car And Classic UK

Whilst the advert might be short on information I can assure you this a beautiful car that I plan to cherish and hopefully keep on the fleet forever.

I haven't picked her up properly yet as she's having a big service and a couple of small jobs done at a specialist so by the time I collect her she'll be like new.

I imagine I'll have many a question to ask and hopefully in time I'll be able to answer a few questions too.

Matt.

PS: I realise it's been some time since joining before my first post. After a dalliance with W123s I spent a few years with Porsche but now I'm back with the three pointed star.

Welcome to the forum Matt & MB ownership.

Congrats on the purchase, judging from the pics it does look like a very nice example.

The rear seat reclines but it isn't heated on this one.

Hi Jay, interestingly I bought my last car from you about three years ago now - a zermatt silver Porsche 944 S2.

I still have a copy of your original advert with the fastidiously listed service history that I appreciated so much at the time.

I'm envious. My rear seat does neither
