Vehicle Overview
Description
This is an advert I hoped I'd never have to post, but my hand is forced, and it's time to sell my 500SEC project. I have finally come to terms with the fact that I won't get the time to finish this project at any point in the next few years, I have too many projects on the go and not enough time. It's a 1986 Gen2 500SEC, sold new in Belfast, and with ONLY ONE REGISTERED OWNER FROM NEW. It's astral silver over blue leather, and has 200,000 miles. 5.0 V8 automatic. It's a project, and won't be driven away, it'll need trailering. It's biggest failing is rust in the usual spots, the base of the rear window is gone (though pre-formed repair panels are available new for this area - https://kurth-classics-autoparts.de/gb/exterieur/343-mercedes-c126-sec-rear-window-repair-panel-a1266470501.html) and the wheel wells have rust too. The car was driven on the road a year and a half ago, but hasn't been run since. It's starting up but only running on 5/6 cyl, it isn't getting enough fuel and I believe it's probably sucked detritus up from the tank. (Probably clean/rebuild fuel distributor) It has new fuel pumps, and the injectors have been removed, ultrasonically cleaned and refitted. It's wearing a beautiful set of paintmatched Penta wheels, and 4x new tires. If I didn't have too many other projects on the go already, it's probably a few months away from seeing the road. I hope to give someone else that satisfaction and let it go on to a good home. Being a 1986 NI car, it'll be €200 to VRT, €56 to tax for the year, and NCT exempt from next year. I'm based in West Wicklow. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions and I'll be happy to answer them. I'm looking for €4,500 ONO for the car. It's a dream car of mine, it absolutely FLOATS down the road like nothing else and I know I'll regret selling it, so if I don't get close to that number I'll hold onto it, tuck it away and get back into it when I have more time and less on my plate.
