This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL sedan embodies that spirit perfectly, in its beautiful and period black upper paintwork with gray lower quarters. It rolls on a set of classic Mercedes-Benz alloys that are wrapped in new tires, reported to have less only about 3,000 miles on them. The interior features black leather seats and a wood-trimmed dash and center console. The front seats are electrically adjusted with memory function as well. The car has air conditioning installed, which the seller reports to be ‘ice cold’, and there is a vent for the rear passengers too.

This was enough for a zero to sixty sprint of 8.5 seconds, and a top speed of 137mph when new. This car has received new fuel lines, brake hoses, brake pads, shock absorbers, stabilizers, mechanical steering parts, spark plugs and a new AC compressor.
