1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL
Anyone who’s owned a Mercedes-Benz S-Class or its predecessors brand-new at the time will likely have been very impressed with their new purchase. While the S-Class badge came into play in 1972, the model’s heritage extends way back to 1954’s Ponton. Representing the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz’ engineering and technology, new features typically debut on an S-Class before filtering down the range as time goes by. That’s why this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL is still a technical tour de force, and comes with many features that you’d recognize as being on 2022-model cars too. Bearing just 78,600 original miles, you also receive a car cover, and the original manual plus tools and jack with the purchase. And you know what? Save weekend drives, this is a car you could daily very nicely, even in 2022!
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL hails from the W126 or second generation S-Class, that was produced from 1979 to 1991. If that seems a long production run, don’t be daunted because Mercedes-Benz engineer improvements into their cars every year. Sporting a smart blue interior and rolling on iconic Gullideckel wheels, this 560SEL is a long car, as you’d glean from the pictures, coming in at 203 inches, and still carries significant presence among modern metal. The interior sports a light gray color theme with burl wood trim. Leather seats accommodate up to five occupants, and the front plus rear seats are heated for winter comfort. You’ve also got climate control, electric windows, electric locks, electrically adjustable front seats, electric sunroof to enjoy some open-air motoring, cruise control, footrests for the rear seats, and a Becker Grand Prix radio cassette. The original first aid kit is included, and the trunk hosts the spare tire – no filler cans and inflators in the Eighties, you got a proper spare!
Sporting the largest engine on offer, this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL is blessed with the Stuttgart automaker’s 5.6L fuel-injected V8 that puts out a very healthy 275hp and 317lb-ft to the rear wheels via a 4G-Tronic four speed automatic transmission. Performance figures when new stood at 7.2 seconds to sixty from rest, and a top speed 150mph.
What was the finest full-size luxury car that one could buy in the '80s? Many would say that it was the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class. Produced between 1979 and 1991 as a sedan and wagon, the W126 is considered to be the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz in the 20th century. It’s no surprise that many discerning petrolheads would relish the chance to own and drive a W126 – because it’s a car that’s meant to be driven and enjoyed, not secreted away in a climate-controlled storage facility. So, we’re proud to make one lucky petrolhead’s dream come true, with this 96,000-mile 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL up for sale right now. Act fast, because W126s don’t hang around, and particularly not when they’re in great condition like this one.
The 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL Sedan is from the second generation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class line. The W126 is so far the most successful and the longest in production generation of the iconic S-Class. The W126 project was led by Mercedes-Benz Chief designer Bruno Sacco who aimed to make the new S-Class more aerodynamic, efficient and retain the unmistakable design elements that makes the S-Class an S-Class. The weight was significantly cut down by extensive use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) sheets and polyurethane deformable material for the bumpers and side claddings. Lighter alloy material was used for the heavily revised 5.6-liter M117 V8 engine that this Mercedes-Benz 560SEL houses. It is also the biggest engine that you could have had with a W126 S-Class. Our featured car has a total of 80,000 miles on the odometer. We’re told this particular model has been treated to new parts and has had the front end completely rebuilt as reported by the current owner.
