A TRUE COLLECTIBLE UNICORN.Finding a 420 SEL today isn't impossible. Finding one with 44,000 miles, single-family ownership, incredible preservation and this level of condition is an entirely different story. THE LEGENDARY W126 S-CLASSThe W126 S-Class represents Mercedes-Benz from an era when the company seemingly asked its engineers one question:What is the best motorcar we can possibly build?Cost cutting came second.Engineering came first.The result was one of the greatest luxury sedans ever produced.Solid, beautifully engineered and magnificently understated, the W126 became the automobile of choice for business leaders, heads of state and successful families around the world.More than three decades later, a properly preserved example still feels incredibly special. 4.2-LITER MERCEDES-BENZ V8Under that long, unmistakable Mercedes hood sits the wonderfully smooth 4.2-liter V8, delivering its power in exactly the way a classic S-Class should effortlessly, quietly and with tremendous refinement.This isn't about chasing horsepower figures.It's about the way this car MOVES DOWN THE ROAD.The heavy Mercedes doors close with that famous bank-vault THUNK. The steering is beautifully weighted. The V8 is smooth and relaxed. The suspension simply absorbs the road.And this particular example?IT DRIVES MAGNIFICENTLY.No annoying rattles.No squeaks.No feeling of a tired 36-year-old luxury car.It still drives like the GRAND OLD LADY OF THE ROAD always did solid, composed, quiet and dignified. ONLY 44,000 MILES SINCE NEW!Read that again.ONLY 44,000 MILES.That's barely over 1,200 miles per year on average since 1990.Even better, this magnificent Mercedes remained with ONE FAMILY SINCE NEW, giving it the kind of provenance that collectors increasingly search for and rarely find.This isn't a W126 that has passed through a dozen owners, auctions and dealerships.It has been cherished, preserved and cared for.And it shows. CONDITION THAT HAS TO BE SEENThe condition of this 420 SEL is simply remarkable.The paint is near immaculate, retaining the elegant presence that made these cars so imposing when new.Open the door and the story continues.The leather is beautifully preserved, the cabin presents exceptionally well, and the entire automobile gives you that unmistakable impression of a car that has lived a very different life from most surviving examples.It doesn't feel worn out.It doesn't feel restored to hide decades of abuse.IT FEELS PRESERVED.And for a collector-quality classic, there is a very big difference.KEY FEATURES & HIGHLIGHTS:1990 Mercedes-Benz 420 SELLegendary W126 S-ClassONLY 44,000 MILES SINCE NEWONE FAMILY OWNED SINCE NEWBeautiful 4.2L Mercedes-Benz V8Exceptional original-style presentationNear immaculate paintBeautifully preserved leather interiorExceptionally tight and solid on the roadNO RATTLES OR SQUEAKSRuns and drives beautifullyRemarkab
