Hi dear colleagues.
Wanted to ask how rare are the 560 engined short w.base W126 cars.Would it be possible for them to gain extra value since they produced at low volume...thoughts are appropriated.
You are right my bad..been a long time. since I am really into my V140 600SEL...But the itch never goes as my passion to W126...and when I came across a rare piece I thought naybe I can take the chance...
Have you seen for a sale yourself. ..they are not sold here by dealer but imported individually. ..very rare.almost impossible to came across. .lucky you...that's why I am interested on this particular one...
One of the german ad at mobile.de goes like this...
RARITY! one of the last of only 1252 ever built 560SE, '90 model year, the lowest numbers of each W126er this vehicle is ideal for collectors / enthusiasts, top model with factory uprated 5.6-L engine with 279HP, blauschwarzmet in classic.
I would definitely pay a premium to have the only California-legit euro 560SE. I did it with an '90 euro SEC, so that'd be my next benchmark, not that I am looking. I have enough going on my plate now.
The car you refer to looks good. There's another guy from the UAE that got one, anthracite/black. These cars are great but the -701 8-pin EZL's are problematic (just ask me!), so prepare accordingly.
Thanks for all the comments...Would like to have more detailed vin decoding though. ..even a epc breakdown would be perfect for this particular vehicle. ..vin is wdb1260381a460300
Gentlemen...with the help of one friend here I 've tried to have a detailed vin decoding of this vehicle...however...even though the car has some options seen in the pictures are not listed on the option document...such as ABS,drivers airbag,tempomat,sunroof,the radio,alloy wheels...to name a few..what can be the culprit...thoughts are appreciated,
Ayhan
Thought about it a lot and decided to give it a try...I will go to see it Tuesday and probably will collect it...l will post the progress. ...probably open a new thread. ..
Congratulations, they are very rare now more than ever, I hear from Germany that probably only about 34 registered in Europe.
Join the club Ayhan, I too have a 560SE
Thank you all . I'll keep you updated as l progress....That's a beautiful car by the way. Love the color . I'd like to ask you, have you ever driven a long version of the same engined car?Is there a noticeable difference between them,l really wonder.
Thank you Greeney
Oh god yes!!
I have driven all 560s
The SEC has a sporty Coupe feel and very different to the saloons.
To me the SEL feels slightly more cumbersome, The SE has a tighter more poised feel.
Visually I prefer the SE too it keeps more of the perfect proportion original in the design
