"Charming S-Class Coupe from the lively 1980s. There are some remarks, primarily of aesthetic nature. Here, a paint touch-up, detailing, and service are recommended."

Description

The S-class in the coupe model has always been something beyond the ordinary. Unlike some other Mercedes models, the C126 has never hit rock bottom in terms of value. They have retained both interest and value. Now, a new generation has taken notice of the coupe designed by Bruno Sacco. This particular car previously resided in California and came to Sweden in 2019. It has had two owners in Sweden and is now being sold by the second owner. The speedometer is calibrated in both mph and km/h. The odometer is calibrated in miles. The current reading is 112 272 miles which corresponds to about 180,000 kilometers. We cannot confirm if this is accurate, as verifying the mileage on imported vehicles can be challenging. The owner's manual is missing. The car will be delivered with a valid inspection certificate from the vehicle inspection service.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Equipped with a Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel-injected V8 engine with a stated power of 238hp, along with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine starts easily and runs smoothly. There's a slight jerk when putting it in reverse. Shifts well and drives nicely on the road. The air conditioning system has not been tested.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice interior with minor wear and tear. Some damage to the rear seat cushions. The headliner and C-pillar panels need to be reattached. See photos. Spacious trunk space.

  • Exterior condition:

    At some point, the car has been repainted. The body is straight and neat. There are paint blisters on the trunk lid. Some minor scratches can be found along the sides, and there are stone chips where the paint has come off. Paint peeling around the rear window, which occurred when the window was recently replaced. The window on the driver's door presses against the adjacent HT-window and needs an adjustment. See the photos.

  • General condition:

    Considering its age, the car is in good operational condition and could be improved with paint touch-up as well as internal and external detailing.

Facts about the model

The new S-class with the internal designation W126 was introduced in the fall of 1979. The Mercedes-Benz S-class might have been almost too modern when it arrived. When "Vi Bilägare" reviewed it in 1981, it was noted that it "breaks with the modern design that dictates a low waistline and large glass surfaces". The focus was now on low air resistance and reduced fuel consumption compared to its predecessors. Technically, the car was a further development of the W116. For the V8 versions, the engine blocks were also cast in aluminum, unlike the W116 which had cast iron blocks. By 1986, the cars were updated with a refreshed body and modified engines. Among other things, the new six-cylinder engines from the W124 were introduced. The equipment list is longer than that of the W116; anti-lock brakes were available from the outset, and an airbag was added in the fall of 1981. The coupe version, C126, was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1981.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
