Introduced in 1981, two years after its saloon sibling, the W126 S-class coupe was a singularly elegant ‘pillarless’ coupe design. Styled by Bruno Sacco, the two-door, pillarless construction did little to compromise interior space. Intended as a four-seater transcontinental express, its sleek silhouette hid all-round independent suspension, disc brakes, power-assisted steering and a range of potent V8 engines mated to an automatic transmission. Top of the launch range, the 500SEC was continuously updated gaining Bosch KE Jetronic fuel injection in 1985. Developing a quoted 245bhp and 286lbft of torque, the 4,973cc SOHC V8 was reportedly capable of propelling the super coupe to 60mph in 7.2 seconds and onto 146mph top speed.

With current ownership since 2018, this SEC displays just 122,500 recorded miles since 1990. Showing 6 former keepers on the HPI report, we are told that ‘H234 ABA’ has been subject to much expense and improvement over the years. Inside, you’ll find the typically opulent Cream leather with complementing carpets and over-mats, along with wood veneer inlay accents around the cabin. The car still retains its factory specification Mercedes Benz radio cassette player. Comfort features include hugging rear bucket seats with a centre armrest with factory inertia reel rear seat belts and electric windows. Offered with a V5C and an MOT until October this year.
