SUMMARY
Impressive second generation 5-litre SEC, distinctively presented in Smoke Silver.
DESCRIPTION
- Derived from the flagship W126 S-Class of the late 1970s, the two-door SECs were uncompromisingly majestic powerhouses with super confident pillarless styling by Bruno Sacco
- Powered by the naturally-aspirated, M117.965, 4,973cc V8, generating 261bhp and 300lb/ft driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission
- Despite its substantial weight, the svelte 500SEC could reach 60mph in 7.3 seconds on its way to 146mph
- This example is presented in Smoke Silver with a beige interior
- Our vendor advises has confirmed that the car has recently benefitted from a full engine service
- Now firmly considered as a modern classic, the SEC has a road presence and a build quality matched by few
