Mercedes-Benz 420SE (Only 73k miles)

Deane Motors are delighted to present this beautifully presented Mercedes-Benz 420 SE finished in elegant Almandine Red Metallic with a Cream Leather interior. Originally supplied in the UK by Charles Ironside Mercedes-Benz, this is a car we know exceptionally well, having sold it on three separate occasions over the years. It has also been maintained by ourselves for the past 6–7 years, making it a car we can confidently stand behind. Accompanying the car is a comprehensive service history, reflecting years of careful ownership and maintenance. Showing just 72,000 miles, this 420 SE remains a wonderfully original and highly usable example. It drives exactly as a W126 should – smooth, refined and incredibly solid – with a superb ride quality that reminds you why these cars are regarded as some of the finest saloons Mercedes-Benz ever built. Finished with a fantastic specification including: * Electric front seats * Electric steering column * Factory sunroof * Cruise control * Upgraded burr walnut wood trim * Illuminated vanity mirrors * Original 12-hole alloy wheels * Correct Mercedes overmats Structurally, the car is excellent, with an exceptionally clean underside that reflects years of careful ownership. Importantly, it also retains a perfect rear parcel shelf, an area that is so often damaged on W126 models. To be completely transparent, this is not a concours car, nor is it priced as one. It is a very honest, well-maintained example that has acquired some age-related patina over the years and has received paintwork in places during its lifetime. Rather than detracting from the car, it has been enjoyed and cared for exactly as these cars were intended to be. If you’re searching for a W126 that can be driven and enjoyed immediately without worrying about preserving a museum piece, this is a superb choice. The car is taxed and tested, ready to be enjoyed, and with values of quality W126s continuing to strengthen, it represents outstanding value. A structurally excellent, low-mileage Mercedes-Benz with a comprehensive service history, known provenance, and maintenance by ourselves for the last 6–7 years. It drives beautifully and is priced to sell.
