Regarded as the ultimate luxury coupé of the day, the 560 SEC was one of the most expensive cars in the world at the time and came comprehensively equipped as standard
They were powered by the M117 5. 5-litre V8 mated to 4G-Tronic automatic gearbox and offering 0-60mph in seven seconds
Standard specification included heated electric seats with memory, a limited-slip differential, electric steering, self-levelling suspension and ABS
This beautiful example was supplied new to the UK on 01/ 03/ 1991 finished in Nautical Blue Metallic with a cream leather interior
Our vendor understands it to be one of just two UK cars in similar specification and the sister car of the one owned by his father in period
Bought for nostalgic reasons in 2022, it has benefited from a full respray and a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system
Additional works include attention to the brakes, suspension and the fitting of 16" AMG wheels (originals included)
Having covered a shade less than 70, 000 miles from new, it's supplied to auction with the original book packs, the service record containing 32 stamps, a detailed history file and numerous invoices
