Description

Exceptionally preserved 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL with comprehensive recent restoration. This low-mileage RWD sedan presents in showroom condition with a striking pearl finish applied during a complete repaint. The legendary 4.2L V8 engine has been meticulously serviced with new spark plugs, air and fuel filters, serpentine belt, and fresh oil throughout.

Major mechanical work includes a new power steering pump, engine mounts, and A/C compressor with R134a retrofit. Suspension refreshed with new rear shocks and links. All four tires are new, along with new batteries, wiper blades, and a modern Bluetooth radio (original Becker included).

The transmission and coolant system have been flushed. This fully loaded classic combines authentic W126 elegance with thoroughly sorted mechanicals, making it an ideal entry point for Mercedes enthusiasts seeking reliability and presence.
