Mercedes-Benz 380 SEC V8 W126 — 1983

• Mechanical condition

  The car starts easily and the engine runs well. On the road it feels stable, with a smooth-working automatic gearbox and good brakes. A recent brake service was carried out for the inspection, which is valid until 2027-07-31.
  
  The electric windows, seats, mirrors and sunroof are working, while the air conditioning is currently not functioning. Fitted with aftermarket alloy wheels in good condition and a good set of tyres.

• Interior condition

  Interior is complete, original and in usable condition. The seats show age-related wear, including some holes on the driver’s seat and along the edges of the rear seat. A thorough clean and reconditioning would certainly lift the interior. The rear section of the headliner has started to sag, while the door cards and interior panels remain in good condition.
  
  The dashboard retains its original instrumentation with an extra radio fitted, together with a wooden Momo steering wheel. The wood trim presents well, although the dashboard pad has a crack. Carpets throughout are in acceptable condition.

• Exterior condition

  The car presents well from a few metres away, with straight bodywork overall, but there are areas of rust blistering dotted around the car. The bonnet shows the most, with further blistering around the wheel arches, corners, along the rear frame below the rear window and on the lower inner edges of the doors — please see the detailed photos.
  
  The underbody looks solid, with no notable damage or major rust problems. The paintwork remains bright overall, although the paint has flaked from the right front plastic trim. The chrome work is in acceptable condition, with a rust hole on the front corner of the bumper. The windscreen also has a crack along the lower front edge.

• General condition

  Popular Mercedes coupé with V8 power, just waiting for the right enthusiast to address the cosmetic and interior issues. Perfectly usable and enjoyable as it is, with plenty of potential to improve over time.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• 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.
