1991 Mercedes-Benz W126 300 SEL, 102.5K Miles, 2nd Owner, Excellent Daily Driver

1991 Mercedes-Benz S-Class , 1 Previous Owner, Great Daily Driver! Additional Info:

Up for sale is a 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL in beautiful Anthracite Grey with a luxurious Palomino leather interior. This is a rare, final year W126 model, housing the powerful M103 6-cylinder engine, and extended long wheel base. Significantly fewer of these models were produced, making it a unique find compared to the more common 300SE.

As the second owner, I can attest to its excellent condition both inside and out. It has been used as a reliable daily driver, always receiving necessary maintenance and care. The car boasts a clean CarFax, proving its well-documented and accident-free history.

A wealth of recent maintenance ensures that this classic German automobile is in top running condition. The car benefits from a new exhaust system, brake master cylinder, belt tensioner/pulley and belt, tie rods, AAA battery, spark plugs, vacuum lines, brakes, tires, rotors, and bearings. It also has a fresh service, including an oil change, a new distributor cap, ignition rotor, hoses for speed regulator, door latches, overload protection relay, and a set of new Good Year tires. The A/C has been converted to the new R134 system, making this classic ready for modern times.

One of the key highlights of this 300 SEL is its collection of original items, including books, keys, a still-sealed tool kit, and untouched Mercedes first aid kit. The spare wheel/tire, also never touched, is still brand new. Additionally, the rims have been freshly powder coated, adding to the aesthetic value. Plus, the sunroof is fully functional and all glass, including the headlights, is clear and free of cracks.

While this classic car has been well-loved and maintained, there are a few minor imperfections due to its age. There is slight rust under the back rear window, a common issue with cars of this age, and easily treatable. The back seat leather has a crack/tear, and there are a few very minor dings on the exterior, reflecting its use as a daily driver. The wood on the shift console is cracked, a testament to the originality and age of the interior. The back windows are not currently operational, but could be repaired by a specialist.

To address fading, the back package shelf has been replaced with a tasteful, custom cover. But one of the standout aspects of this car is the dashboard—it's in great condition with no cracks, which is a testament to the care this car has received.

Despite these minor issues, the car remains in impressive condition for its age and these are minor fixes for any classic car enthusiast.

I am only parting with this lovely car as I've recently purchased a Mercedes Benz W116 that needs my attention. If you are a fan of classic Mercedes, you will not be disappointed with this superb 300 SEL. Its elegance, reliability, and historic charm truly stand out.

Thank you for your interest. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Happy bidding!
