Mercedes 500 SEC from 1988
Chassis number: WDB126 044 1A434266
Engine: M117.965 5.0 liter V8 – 265 hp and 405 Nm
Gearbox: Automatic

The W126 was the top class (S-class) of Mercedes, the C126 is the coupé version of it.

The car has 42234 kilometers on the odometer, there are some old invoices with a lower kilometer number, but it cannot be proven with 100% certainty whether this kilometer number is correct.

The last inspection of the car was on 4/05/2023 and the car is currently registered. It is occasionally driven (only in good weather).

This C126 is equipped with some rare options. In those years there were no standard airbags, there was an option for a driver's airbag, and an option for both driver and passenger airbags. This car has both airbags. This was not standard until a few years later.
It also has the rare on-board computer (reiserechner). That option later disappeared because it was too complicated.
It also has an electric sunroof, ASR, automatic air conditioning and headlight wipers.

It is also a rather rare color combination: the paint has color code 432 (bison brown) and the interior 975 (velor cream).

The car was repainted about 6 years ago, this was done very well. In those 6 years, no rust blisters have emerged, nor are there any dust or color differences anywhere. I invite anyone interested to come and see the car.

The car had stood still for a few years, but a lot of work has been done to put the car in technical order. The car has received a major maintenance. The petrol pump and both fuel filters have also been renewed.

In the interior there are no tears or spots in the upholstery or carpets, this is in very good condition. You can only find a crack in some plastic parts.
The engine runs very well and always starts the first time.
There is no rust on the bottom of the car.

These points should be checked:
The sunroof is loose but does not work at the moment.
The on-board computer was an expensive and very rare option at the time, but it currently does not work. In principle you do not need this, but the enthusiast can check it (or have it checked).

The fuel gauge sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, presumably there is a loose contact behind the instrument panel.
The car drives very smoothly, only if you give full throttle to accelerate quickly can it falter a bit.

Available options:
- 245: On-board computer (reiserechner)
- 412: Electric sunroof
- 471: ASR
- 581: Automatic air conditioning
- 291: Airbag for driver and passenger
- 341: additional blinkers
- 600: headlight wipers

Documents available: registration certificate, inspection certificate, invoices from garages and parts

Work performed in 2015:
- New water pump
- New hoses for radiator

Work carried out at the end of 2022:
Maintenance:
- engine oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, fuel filters
- gearbox oil and filter
- new front and rear brake pads
- new viscous coupling for the engine cooling
The rims have been sandblasted and powder coated and are now like new.

The car can be viewed in Geraardsbergen, Belgium.
