Tour of my Mercedes 560SEC! w126 Benz beauty.

This is my 1987 Mercedes-Benz w126 560SEC. Forgive the iPhone video and just enjoy the tour.
EDIT: I mean to say I do not have the original Becker radio. My bad.

[@stephane_edouard]

One of the best looking Mercs ever...

[@ItsTimePictures]

Absolutely.

[@beagler4234]

Cars* ever

[@DIYDanCars]

These W126 and W124 Mercs will probably go down in history as the best built Mercedes of my generation (born in the 80's). It unfortunate Mercedes cars of today have no where near the quality or attention to detail that these older Mercs did. A truly beautiful timeless classic you have there.

[@zloychechen5150]

i'd say that was due to the economy and the market in general rather than people. Sacco, on the other hand, no matter how i may admire him, also drew the w210. i mean the overall shape is fine, and i even like the rear, but that front end makes me want to go and have a rest after seeing it because i can't bear the sadness.

[@arttafil6792]

One of the most beautiful Merc’s ever!

[@MattH-wg7ou]

Beautiful. Im glad Im not the only one who appreciates this generation of boxy Benzes.

[@mariusjivan7757]

The QUEEN of all roads!! Kisses for Mercedes Benz 560 SEC !

[@ItsTimePictures]

Thanks 😎

[@mohamedazkoul9544]

The C126 will remain one of the most elegant coupe ever made

[@jpadicecoffee9812]

Very Beautiful car. Nice mods (front lights and inside). The wood trim is spectacular.

[@WhiteMouse77]

BiG WoW! This coupe is unicorn of gentlemen cars! There were not to many other designs which are so timeless!

[@EndofUSA]

You are one hell of a lucky guy!!! She's for keeps!!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MERCEDES BENZ 80´ MY NEIGHBOR HAD A 500 SEC IN 1982 YEARS .....AMAZING

[@zaidzabanoot1426]

This is one of best mercedes ever made. I have 1991 560 SEC for the last 10 years. My car is cypress green. Great car

[@neverobey1477]

My dad owned a bunch of benzes in the 80s! I remember this 1 clearly in 86 he had the 87 always a year or 2 ahead! NOW I KNOW WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM!

[@sgj4214]

NEVER OBEY where? 😂

[@denseljosephs9500]

I delivered one of these in the 90's a few days later i drove a 3 litre 911 turbo the Merc would have smoked it i was shocked as i'm a huge 911 fan. Nice car you have there i've always called them the gentleman's dragster in fond remembrance of that monumental torque i remember.

[@RandomRobReviews]

Well done, looks amazing. Love the older Mercedes body styles. So timeless.

[@classic-kool]

Such a well made beauty! She's gorgeous! Enjoy this great car in good health!👊😎👍

[@lovelyman6957]

Hoh dude i love something calls medcedes 560 SEC, because the only kind of cars that i like more than others it's so comfortable you think your selfe driving a air plane ❤️❤️ something crazy there you have it

[@hkaya8403]

[@spullibwd]

Beautiful Automobile! I’ve always liked the 560SEC. What a Beaut! I absolutely love the classics! I have two classics and I love looking at them, sitting in them and best of all driving them. Enjoy!

[@ItsTimePictures]

Yes, yes and YES! :)

[@jamesthunder7590]

Hello from Sweden 😊 Rest in Peace real genuine Made in Germany Mercedes from 1930-1995👍😊🦉❤️

[@gazistar5526]

This is the finest car , with euro headlights the pride of German engineering and the Symbol of w126 beauty on the road with smoothest ride no car an compete with this beauty. RESPECT THE BEST OR NOTHING

[@Ronny_van_Gerwen]

This car in this color...beauty. They don't build them like this anymore. Sell it and you will regret it for the rest of your life

[@ItsTimePictures]

lol, well I sold it. Only because I was moving overseas for a two year stint. But I do not regret it since I learned a lot and will buy another one upon my return. Best car I ever owned.

[@nicolasroirand8011]

Bonjour , perso je pense que c'est la plus belle et la plus classe voiture du monde depuis le début de l'automobile . Magnifique , grandiose , impérial , bravo ! Au revoir .

[@brendanfisher]

Congratulations Matt, all the way from Northern Ireland. She's beautiful. I've enjoyed following you on your journey to find this magnificent vehicle. From a fellow Benz and Omega lover - health to enjoy.

[@ItsTimePictures]

Thanks, Brendan. I appreciate that.

[@RileyBanksWho]

What a beautiful car you've got there. Exterior, interior, wheels, colour. Very nice. Quite similar to my 08 CLK actually!

[@ItsTimePictures]

Let's race, lol!

[@lbowsk]

Gorgeous. Classy. Timeless. Love it.

[@grain_newports]

Happy to see you got your dream car. And a low profile stunber at that. Hope this purchase goes down with as little snags as your other recent ones. Great to see your luck turning around. Patience and persistence is always the key to true bliss.

[@guywebster8018]

I fell in love with this car as a kid when i saw roadhouse 😂 this and the e39 m5 were my dream cars

[@ItsTimePictures]

Yup. I was in high school when Roadhouse came out. We all fell in love with this.

[@shawnweed265]

Well done...I like how you are so passionate about your car...I have had newer AMGs, but want one like this...when they were made like vaults! The Best or Nothing!!!

[@marksimonds4823]

The cover for the engine is usually referred to as the "hood". Not the trunk. Haha. Beautiful car.

[@dutzumiho9449]

That blue interior is gorgeous

[@SantiagoAyoso]

Beautifull!!! Keep this car always with you, never sale.

[@brianhinder3652]

Top tier that one. Look after her Matt ... she is your pleasure machine after all !

[@samsonokoro5036]

This remains the best S class of all time in my opinion, it's such a classic. My dad had the early 90's model 91 to be exact. His though was a 500SEL. I also remember testing this severally with the generation immediately after this that launched the S 600 the big v boot s class called the beast then. After these two generations Merc went down hill with the S class till this latest generation in my opinion.

[@ItsTimePictures]

I cannot think of one work I disagree with. All too true.

[@visionist7]

I rented the W222 for a week, S500 (sedan not coupe). It was great but frankly I didn't fall in love with it. It had very little charm, character or personality

[@ogadjim6191]

Beautiful classic and seems really mint. Enjoy it in good health! Love the Euro lights.

[@acetvr6]

Gorgeous Benz !

[@ItsTimePictures]

Thanks!

[@geoscho4705]

Mr Stevens. This is one of the best mercedes ever build. Greets from Germany

[@ItsTimePictures]

Thanks. I agree that this is easily one of THE best ever produced from MB.

[@ianhand5006]

That is an amazing car! Apart from the dull headlight and a tiny bit of work on the seats, I would say it is perfect. Cars just don't last that long in the UK because they put rock salt on the roads in the winter. I have a 1994 Mini automatic in my garage and it stays in there all winter.

[@secondlooksformen3836]

Sweet. Nice to see you enjoying your awesome Mercedes. Well taken care of. Good luck, lotsa fun and safety! 😎

[@ericp9058]

Yellow turn signals is a must!

[@charlesjenkins1225]

El Mercedes perfecto. Es el coupé MB más bonito y exclusivo de todos. Enhorabuena y a disfrutar este coche fantástico muchos años.

[@1malikalik]

Congratulations 👏bro. The 560SEC is the most underrated ICON. I Also love the upgrades: Glass Sunroof, Euro headlights and Diminutive Steering wheel are tastefully done. Hope this car serves you well. Cheers bro.

Top quality mate, worth the wait. Int/ext colour combo is sweet. Enjoy!!!

[@tes77a]

Great looking Merc 👍

[@erwinmonti5066]

I HAVE A LOT OF MERCEDES FROM THIS ERA AND BEFORE. THE 560 SEC IS BY FAR THE GREATEST CAR THEY EVER MADE. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THESE CARS ARE BETTER THAN THE ONES FROM 2000 ON. THE OLD MECHANICS FROM THAT ERA THAT ARE STILL AROUND TODAY SAY THE SAME THING. AND IM TALKING ABOUT ACTUAL EXCLUSIVE MERCEDES MECHANICS. THE LAST SUPER CAR THEY MADE WAS THE 1999 CL600 V 12 COUPE. I HAVE ONE WITH 26.000 MILES. HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN EVEN IN THE RAIN. THE CAR IS A REAL HEAD SNAPPER. WHEELS ARE FIVE SPOKE CHROME AMG 19 IN WHEELS. YOU OWN A CAR THAT YOU WILL NEVER EQUAL EXCEPT WITH ANOTHER ONE. IT WILL SERVE YOU FOR MANY MORE YEARS. YOUR VERY LUCKY...

[@ItsTimePictures]

Thanks. I actually did sell that SEC when I moved overseas after 9 months of ownership. However, I came back in late 2018 and purchased a 1-owner 500 SEC. Great vehicle that I am still sorting. Currently 113k miles. Mercedes up through the 90's made some amazing vehicles that will last a lifetime.

[@wookychewbacca5184]

You Sir are welcome, I'm just waiting for the day that yours and mine will be parked next to each other and maybe joyrides around town videoing on the run. Awesome ride there as you know that I know. Enjoy

[@stefanmayr9379]

Great car, really reliable and solid. Wonderful colors and lines. Now you need are right wheels and it is almost perfect. Greetings from an another enthusiast from Austria /Europe 👌👍🇦🇹😁😎 Take care

[@ItsTimePictures]

Stefan Mayr I particularly like those wheels and the car drove butter smooth all the way up to 120 mph. However I've sold this vehicle. I now own a 1985 grey market import 500 SEC. Lowe miles, black on black, I Purchased from the original owner. I have some videos on my channel if you want to check it out.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Love the colour! Looks fantastic.

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind comments. People really seem to love this video. And the SEC's!

Matt, Yes she's such a beauty. Must be wonderful to drive! I've seen one or two where I live, over the years. I love the colour of yours! Really gorgeous car.

I love these Cars! Congrats! Cant wait until I get one.

[@ihabtahhan]

Perfect car ... time ever

[@brodyoxnard9370]

that is just beautiful. I can appreciate your car because my 89 560sel freight trained me around for about 12 yeaars. i had the euro lights and white side markers too. the car was just so amazing. I hauled ass from macon GA to Lawton OK one Christmas eve average about 87 mph. then later discovered a cheapo sears front shock that was way under spec. The car didn't care, it powered on straight and true with all the speed and comfort you could ask for. I was determined to get it reasonably up to spec. I had the hydraulic/pneumatic rear suspension almost completely replaced. did a rebuild on the monster transmission. but the hvac siezed, the sunroof crapped out, and an 03 bmw 540 seduced me. I have regretted selling my SEL ever since.

[@ItsTimePictures]

Brody Oxnard Sometimes they are meant to move in and out of our lives. I had this 560SEC for one year and had to sell when I moved overseas. Now that I am back I have a 500SEC Euro grey market import and it is THE ONE. That I'm sure of. My 560SEC ownership prepared me for my 500SEC ownership.

[@Brizzy-ul3gy]

Congratulations ! glad it worked out for you,hope you get many years of pleasure from that beauty !

[@neverobey1477]

Wow i remember when my uncles bought a few of these cars back in the 80s.. I was 16 when this machine came out.. Never will i forget the 1st time i drove it to school LMAO I HAD ALL THE HOOCHIES ON MY SHIT!! DAM I LOVE AND MISS THE 80S MAN SUCH FUN AMAZING TIMES!!

Matt Stevens hhh wish you you a have great woman on ur life bro

[@pillayw126]

Matt, what a beauty! Obviously you take pride in caring for your w126. I am not sure if you a member on benzworld or not, but I have shared my experiences with the "rub". My suspension is also lowered. I had to replace my AMG front springs with Eibach's. Four nib spring hats and heavy duty bump stops on the shocks cured this. Maybe it will do the same for you. Again, great w126. I like the color-interior and exterior.

[@ItsTimePictures]

Thanks very much. Now i want a w123 diesel. ;-)

[@TheKwod]

Beautiful tank.

[@madpainterken]

I have a 1985 500 ..Matt....same colour 'Diamond Blue'...same colour leather interior too..'Indigo Blue'......odometer 153.000 miles You're right about the wood...can get new but would cost over $1000 mine is a little tatty too....You have a very nice car there matt

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

The styling of this car was years ahead of it's time. One of the all time classics of any era and any manufacturer. I would love to own one but unfortunately they never come up for sale in New Zealand. I've never even seen one on the road here. Honestly man, any money you put in to that car is absolutely worth it. It wasn't until the E39 5 Series BMWs (which came out a decade later) that any car came close to nailing it like Merc did with this car. And Roadhouse is one of the best of the 80's movies, the director bought two of these for filming because (do we need to give spoiler alerts for 80's movies?) he knew he was going to wreck one at the end. That is mitigated somewhat by the fact Swayze kept the other one as his daily driver in real life for years afterwards.

[@woodsandbarclay]

[@ItsTimePictures]

Cool. Congrats. How many miles?

[@mikethebike67]

Damn fine looking car Matt!

[@billfowler3467]

Great color combination! Good job. I’ve done them perfectly before, and while impressive, makes them much more difficult to enjoy when driving!

[@ItsTimePictures]

Bill Fowler yeah I am thinking the same thing. There is a gorgeous euro sec with under 90k miles I would like to buy. VERY high level. But I'd be afraid to drive it! I don't want a garage queen. Really torn.

[@siopowar]

Gorgeous paint. Trying to get my hands on a SEL asap before the prices go up. I can reupholster and swap myself, so im not too worried about getting one with a need for mild restoration, but the paint is what makes the prices jump- black on black being the most expensive. Old people blue are the cheapest at the moment. I'd be okay with getting that and repainting it a menacing shade of silver, but cant deal with the blue seats. The seats are something I'd really rather not have to deal with. Im glad I picked up some ideas from the interchangeable features in your car. I'll consider the w221 wood steering wheel with controls, w140 moon roof, and w210 auto dimming mirror

[@fredschriks8554]

She is a beauty! 😍 I drive a W124 500E!

[@ItsTimePictures]

500E! Now THAT is a car! One of the best they ever released. Thumbs way up.

[@fredschriks8554]

Matt Stevens Thank you. I don't want to trade her for something else. It now got about 35,000km on the clock from new. And it has been in the family since new in 1991.

Did you happen to see the new episode of Wheeler Dealers last night? Mike bought an '83 500 SEC and turned it into an AMG tribute car. Soon as I saw it, I thought about you and your hunt for the perfect Mercedes. Your 560 looks phenomenal. I really like the color and the Euro spec lights. Makes it looks soo clean. Enjoy!

[@ItsTimePictures]

Justin Register Yes I did. Last night. It's a shame those shows are so scripted, but it was still fun to watch and the transformation was extraordinary.

[@jgonzalesm6]

Very Nice. I have a 2009 SL550 tuxedo black w/sand interior; 19" AMG 5 star sports pckge. Car has 13,760 miles on it. The car is clean as I have taken off the plastic and metal panels underneath for cleaning as well as the undercarriage along with the plastic wheel wells. I do that once a year. The powder coated silver MB logo'd calipers get cleaned thoroughly more often due to all the brake dust along with the 5 star AMG rims inside and out...it really makes the car "pop". Garage kept and in the summer months due to the south Texas heat and humidity the garage is air conditioned. All rubber seals get conditioned once a year from the hood(USA) or bonnet(UK) to the interior, convertible seals, and trunk. Im thinking of upgrading the ECU with a RENNTECH ECU upgrade for a modest hp & torque increase; just a little north of 400hp & 400ft lbs.

Euro headlights and Euro bumpers ! Stop making humble excuses, she's a beauty ! The head rests in the back seats really compliment this beaty. I remember my brother's 500sel euro benz, it would hit almost 160 mph on Loop 410 San Antone Texas. What a joy to drive. And my brother enjoyed my W123 300D Turbo Diesel. The best most reliable Benz cars, in my opinion. The last generation of true old Mercedes Beliefs.

I would love to snag a 300 CD some day, but they are really hitting the big bucks now. More and more $$$ is needed to buy a nice one. 5 years ago there were a ton of them available for peanuts.
