DESCRIPTION

1987 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC Automatic. Light Ivory with Brazil Brown leather. This flagship Mercedes coupe was supplied new on the 6th April 1987 by Mercedes Benz of Edgeware Road London to entertainment legend Mr Jimmy Tarbuck. He owned the car until 1991 when it was sold to a gentleman in Chelmsford who then kept the car until 2020, some 29 years. We have copies of all V5’s in the history folder including Mr Tarbuck as well as the original leather dealers wallet, handbooks, stamped service book and Pre Delivery sheet from brand new. Regarded as the ultimate luxury Coupé of the day, it was one of the most expensive cars in the world when produced and came comprehensively equipped as standard. Despite weighing almost 1¾ tons, the 560 SEC raced to 100km/h (62mph) in only 7.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 156mph, these figures being a considerable improvement over those of the 500 SEC. As befitted one of Mercedes-Benz's flagships, the 560 SEC came standard with a host of desirable features, while customers could choose from an equally lengthy list of options. Despite its elevated price, the 560 SEC would turn out to be the most popular of the W126 coupés. Surely destined to be classics of the future, 28,929 examples of this luxuriously equipped, limited edition model were made between 1985 and 1991. The third and last owner purchased the car and improved it bringing it back to the condition you see today, lots of money was spent which included the following. Engine oil double flushed and on third refill filled with Duckhams oil, three oil filters used. Auto gearbox and torque converter drained, flushed twice, new internal filter and fluids. Rear differential, drain and refill, run car on axle stands for one hour, re-drain and refill with fresh oil. Remove rear self levelling suspension system including pump and hydraulic pipes. Remove rear springs. Fit complete new rear suspension system converting the car to standard plus. New updated springs both sides with heavy duty updated coils. New high pressure rear gas shock absorbers. Remove all of the original front suspension, fit new updated coil springs and new high pressure gas shock absorbers. Remove complete exhaust system, refit with brand new Mercedes middle and rear boxes. Remove fuel system, drain tank, fit two new pumps, new fuel filter and accumulator. Fit new rear differential mounting. Replace all drive belts. Drain cooling system, replace expansion tank and cap. Fit new battery. The car has a very comprehensive history folder with a large collection of paperwork and has been well cared for. The car has an mot through to October 2022 with no advisories and is running and driving very well. Having covered just 127,000 miles from new, and if looked after properly these engines should give many more years service. Absolutely any inspection is welcome.
