Built by Mercedes-Benz from 1979 until 1991, the W126 remains the longest-produced S-Class generation to date and is renowned for its exceptional build quality and craftsmanship. This Canadian-market 1989 example is a long-wheelbase model featuring the most powerful engine available in the series, a fuel-injected 5.5-liter M117 V8. It comes finished in Nautical Blue Metallic over a Blue leather interior and is equipped with optional heated front and rear seats, rear footrests, automatic climate control, a sunroof, and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Said to have remained under the care of a single family in Vancouver, this 560SEL is now being offered for auction with approximately 79k kilometers or 49k miles on the odometer.

This 560SEL is finished in Nautical Blue Metallic (929) with lighter blue lower body cladding, chrome trim, and silver 15” Gullideckel alloy wheels. Equipment includes headlamp wipers, a chrome radiator grille, dual power mirrors, an electric sunroof, an automatic antenna, heat-insulating glass, and a dual-tipped muffler. The car rides on Geostar Radial NST tires from 2006 and two small scuffs are noted on the front bumper. The seller indicates the passenger side fender and lower cladding were refinished for cosmetic reasons. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.

The cabin is appointed with Blue leather (262) upholstery, matching carpets, and burl wood trim on the dashboard, door panels, and center console. Accessories include a black leather four-spoke steering wheel, heated and power-adjustable front seats with memory, heated reclining rear seats, rear seat footrests, and automatic climate control.

The fuel-injected 5.5-liter M117 V8 engine delivers up to 238 HP and 287 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission. The seller states the car is in good running order and a service was recently carried out in preparation for the next owner.

This sale will include a clean title.
