The Appeal

A unique feature of Mercedes-Benz is the vast range of engines it has offered for its core model lines. You could order your W140 anything from a 3.0-litre diesel engine to a 7.3-litre AMG V12! This 1993 Coupé has the venerable M120 engine - a 6.0-litre V12 with 402bhp.

For long-distance, high-speed touring in supreme comfort, this car is hard to beat - even three decades on. This example stands out for its originality and it's been meticulously maintained, primarily with Mercedes-Benz main dealers. With a comprehensive service history and a superbly well-preserved interior, this 600 SEC is a great find.
