These luxury saloons have always represented the very best of the German marque's forward-thinking design with many world firsts debuting on an S-Class. In its homeland, this model is referred to as the "Sonderklasse," or Special-Class in English and the W126 generation was very special indeed.Only the second generation of the car to officially carry the S-Class nameplate, the W126 succeeded the very popular W116. Launched in 1979 after six years in development, this was to be the car that would take Mercedes-Benz into the next decade and serve as the flagship for the three-pointed-star. Designers wanted the W126 to be the best in the worldin the areas of safety, technology, and efficiency and they managed that for over a decade.In 1984, the most expensive top of the W126 range was the 500 SEL, a veritable palace on wheels. It combined the super smooth, 5.0-litre V8 and the long wheelbase of the SE range, meaning it competed directly with the Rolls-Royce Spirit of the day - both in terms of price and size.Offered here is an extremely well preserved 500 SEL presented with beautiful Nautical Bluepaintwork and Beige/Cream MB-Texvelour seating. Delivered new on 8th August 1984 by Mercedes main agent Swinford Motors Stourbridge, West Midlands with just threeowners in total, the first believed to be a diplomat, the second a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast and ourvendor who is a private collector. Accompanied by a history file containing its complete original Mercedes-Benz book-pack, maintenance booklet stamped up to 25,573 miles, Owner Manuals, a Mercedes-Benz Owners Club card and even an original Antenna wipe. Indicating just 33,333 miles at the time of cataloguing, it's clear to see that this particular 500 SEL has been well looked after over the years and offers many more years of luxurious service, today with a twist of retro-cool.1984 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL (W126)https://youtu.be/6PY8Z3mwOQsfalse
