THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this SEL is in good to very good 99.9% rust-free condition overall. The paint still shows a nice overall shine accompanied by shiny chrome trim. Upon closer inspection, the body shows various, nicks, faded sports, light scratches and scrapes along with some very light curb rash on one or more of the alloy wheels and other miscellaneous light cosmetic blemishes including one isolated corrosion bubble at the bottom corner of the rear window glass.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this car is in quite good original condition overall. The dash board is near-flawless crack-free the leather upholstery has held up well with some light cracking on the hides. All of the gauges, lights and blinkers work as do the electric windows. The stereo has poor reception due to non-raising antenna. Imperfections inside the car include, but are not limited to some light cracking of the wood trim, one window switch inop, a/c not blowing cold [the heated seats still get toasty hot!]. There are a few other upholstery trim pieces that have wear and tearing. Overall, this classic cockpit still has a solid classy feel.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1991 560SEL starts perfectly with strong running engine and very good acceleration, good shifting transmission and solid braking and steering. The suspension components are still quite solid. There is a slight shimmy over 65 miles per hour and it seems that the rear shock mounts may need replacing. Overall this is still a stately handsome cruiser.
