Supplanting the 500 SEC as flagship of the Mercedes-Benz C126 range, the 560 SEC was launched at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Sharing the same basic M117 engine architecture as its lesser sibling, the new model employed a longer stroke and Bosch KE 111 Jetronic ignition. Credited with some 300bhp and 325lbft of torque in non-catalyst guise, the 560 SEC boasted four-speed automatic transmission as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 150mph, the high-performance coupe proved a rewarding and enjoyable drive thanks to its all round independent suspension (complete with back axle acceleration stabiliser), four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted steering. The fastest, most powerful Mercedes-Benz of its generation, the 560 SEC was a strong seller with some 5,299 despatched worldwide in 1989.

Finished in Nautic Blue, complemented by a Grey leather interior this handsome 560 SEC is also fitted with smart AMG-style alloy wheels. Originally specified with seat heaters for left and right front seats plus headrests in the rear ‘D316 SNB’ was the subject of a £2,403 mechanical refreshment in 2024. At some point the vendor has lost the history file for the car, however, with invoices for work carried out in current ownership still on file. As recently as September, the SEC benefitted from a new MOT which was passed with no advisories. It comes to the sale, offered with current V5C.
