Every now and then a real gem surfaces, and this W126 280SE is exactly that. Showing just 39 571 km, this car is incredibly well preserved and truly feels “like new” in the way it presents and drives.

Finished in Metallic Silver Blue over a matching blue interior, it wears one of the most timeless Mercedes colour combinations, still riding on its original steel wheels with colour-coded hubcaps – a detail that really completes the classic look.Has sheep skin covers on front seats. Has service book and manuals with partial history.

The silky-smooth 2.8L inline-six purrs along beautifully, and the automatic gearbox suits the car perfectly, delivering that relaxed, effortless waft the W126 is famous for.

Examples in this condition, with this mileage and originality, are getting extremely hard to find. A superb collector’s piece and a must-have for any serious Mercedes enthusiast.
