1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL Armoured B6 for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL Armoured B6 is a used car showing 70,002 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in White with a Blue interior.

Behind its plain white paint this 500 SEL carries armour built to the B6 standard, the European protection class rated against high-velocity rifle rounds. It is a long-wheelbase W126 of the first series, recognisable by the ribbed lower body panels, built before the September 1985 update.

The photographs show a blue velour cabin with wood trim, curtains drawn across the rear side windows and the five-litre V8 under the bonnet. The seller gives no further detail about its history, owners or servicing.

The car is located in London, United Kingdom.

The Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL (W126, 1981–1985) uses the 4,973 cc M 117 V8, rated at 231 PS (170 kW) and 405 Nm after the 1981 revision, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.0 seconds and 210 km/h, with a four-speed automatic, the only gearbox offered with the V8s, driving the rear wheels. The SEL is the long-wheelbase saloon, with 3,075 mm between the axles, a length of 5,135 to 5,160 mm and a kerb weight of 1,650 kg as built. ABS became standard on the V8 models at the end of December 1984.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL, and how does a purchase work?

Mayfair Prestige, a professional dealer in London, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at London, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Mayfair Prestige before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
