Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL W126 — 1987

• Zustand technisch

  Starts easily and runs well in engine and drivetrain. During a test drive at a calm pace on minor roads and motorway, the journey was pleasant and comfortable, where steering, automatic transmission, brakes, and road handling were all experienced to work well. Quiet and well-insulated with good comfort. Not checked on a lift, but from what could be seen, it looked good. No comments on the chassis from the vehicle inspection.

• Zustand Interieur

  Luxurious interior in an exclusive and comfortable original finish. Beautifully mildly aged leather with good bounce in the chairs and back seat, complemented by fine textile carpets and molded protective mats in plastic/rubber. Door sides and panels, as well as the headliner, are at the same level. Fine lighting details and reading lamps in the back, all functioning. Both front and rear seats are heated. They are also electrically adjustable, including the rear seat. Steering wheel, controls, instruments, dashboard, and wood details are in good condition with a slight patina. All electricity appears to work well (except for the clock), as does the air conditioning, but it was last filled two years ago and is due for a refill. However, the functionality of the sunroof and electric antenna are uncertain and need review/attention. The sunroof motor operates, likely a cable malfunction. Blaupunkt Bremen CD-radio that works well. Speakers on the rear shelf styled from the 80s.

• Zustand Exterieur

  The paintwork is in good condition and appears to be largely original. However, there are areas with slightly different paint, likely from repairs done some time ago. There is wear and the beginning of rust near the headlights. The chrome, glass, trim, rubber, plastic, and emblems are all at the same level – original with some wear in the details. The rear bumper has blisters and peeling chrome in some areas. Wheels and tires are in good condition with only mild wear. It has a plug for an engine block heater. The engine and trunk compartments are in fine condition.

• Zustand gesamt

  This car was far ahead of its time, both in terms of design and technology. With its solid quality, it still maintains its status as a premium vehicle with a ‘top of the line’ feel even today. The model was launched over 40 years ago and has become a true classic and enthusiast icon in its genre.
