Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC / CL 500, 1994, Espoo

Up for auction: a true rarity and classic – a 1993 Mercedes-Benz S 500 Coupé (C140 / 500 SEC)!

Here is a magnificent 1990s executive coupé powered by a potent 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine. According to the factory records, the car was completed in August 1993. Its original colour is classic blue-black metallic, with a black/anthracite leather interior.

Pros & Equipment

• Long MOT: Passed its MOT – valid until 19 August 2027!

• Audio system: A new audio system was installed in the car just two weeks ago.
  Sound insulation: Separate sound insulation has been installed, also visible in the sales photos!

• Paintwork and special features: Repainted in the factory’s original colour in 2016, when a unique hand-painted design was also added to the bonnet. See the photos!

• Comfortable equipment: The factory equipment list includes, among other things, a nappa leather interior, electrically adjustable multi-contour seats with memory and heating, an electric glass sunroof, automatic climate control, an electrically operated rear window blind, and ADS adaptive damping / self-levelling suspension.

• Two sets of wheels:

  • Summer tyres: Good-condition tyres on stylish AMG alloy wheels.

Background and Servicing

• Light use: Used as a hobby car and driven only around 1,000 km per year in recent years!

• Service history: Serviced regularly every year.

• Odometer: The instrument cluster stopped working in 2020, so the total mileage is not advancing (the mileage has been estimated based on the previous owner’s usage records).
  

Points to Note (Cons)

• Starter battery: The battery needs replacing; it will be replaced between 8 and 9 October, so the car will be handed over with a new battery!

• Rear window: The rear window has a crack.
