The 560 SEL was the top-of-the-range touring saloon of the 1980s for company directors and corporate executives.
With its generous space, superb ride comfort and luxurious fittings, this car was the ideal companion on long business trips.
This 560 was never used for its intended purpose.
For the first few years, it was used purely as a show car, and for the last 26 years it has been in the hands of a collector.
This explains its remarkably low mileage of 61,000 km and its overall condition, which is equivalent to that of a year-old car.
The original price in 1989 for this luxury saloon, including 14 per cent VAT, was a substantial 159,976.20 DM.
