560SEL with full hydraulic suspension for sale

[Oversize]

I've never seen one before & this might be of interest to someone. The Australian versions of the W126 only have self leveling on the rear. This one appears to have hydropneumatic suspension on all four corners & looks like some parts are the same as those on the 6.9. Note I have no affiliations with the seller.

Australian W126 customers could specify the optional hydropneumatic suspension for the 560 SEL. I have ridden in one. Airbags were available, as was ABS.

Nice looking, and a lot of car for the money that's being asked. The mileage is fairly low, and provided it's been looked after and maintained by the right people, it could be a cracking good buy. I am not tempted on account of my treasure that I already own, but for anyone contemplating Mercedes ownership of round about that vintage, this is a serious consideration.

Naturally, all hydraulic suspension is a very rare option - not so sure if that aspect appeals to everyone, but it sure is different. Regards Styria
