Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC put up for sale in Kyiv
We are talking about the flagship version of the C126 series coupe after the facelift. The car is registered in Kyiv and has a mileage of 60,970 km.
The Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC is considered the most prestigious and powerful modification of the two-door S-Class of the W126 generation. It is this version that is in greatest demand among collectors and fans of classic models of the brand.
According to the seller’s description, many years ago the car was brought from Japan as a custom order for one of the Ukrainian politicians. Subsequently, the coupe was used infrequently, and for the last decade it was almost never driven.
