Basic information and history

When Mercedes-Benz introduced its W126 series, it was the world's most advanced car, with technology debuting with the model. For example, hidden windshield wipers for better aerodynamics, electric seats with memory, airbags, belt tensioners, traction control, ABS, crumple zones and more.

This 1987 300 SE is the W126 "Zweite Serie", the updated model produced between 1985 and 1991. The model is appreciated for its high build quality, its low levels of NVH (noise, vibrations and harshness) and the robust M103 six that delivers silky smooth running and long life. The chassis combines comfort with confident road holding and is the benchmark for luxury sedans of the 1980s.

Ownership history is documented and the car has undergone a professional full paint job according to the seller. The current owner has used the car for fine driving and Mercedes-Benz meetings.
