Australian delivered W126 300SE in striking signal red and cream MB-Tex interior. Both interior and exterior in nice shape. Car was repainted by the previous owner. I've owned the car six years and it was my daily driver until the covid lockdowns. Since then I have a different job and i'm not driving it as much as I used to - time to find a new owner for it that enjoyed it as much as I have. Now on non-transferrable club rego. AC is nice and cold.

Over the six years and 16,000km I've owned it, i've sorted out a lot of the common issues with these cars including head gasket and head service, rebuilding the climate control system including new compressor, rebuilt climate control unit, blower motor and regulator, relays, temperature LCD and loads more. Tyres are still quite new. I've also taken care of the usual maintenance including things like engine and transmission mounts, fuel pump etc.

The car drives really well and I get a lot of comments from people about it.

$9,500

I simply love your car …
What a great colour combination and you’ve sorted all the dramas!
If only I had a spare parking space…🙄

Too right!

Everyone wants the v8, and true 560s etc are very nice. But the 300 is faster than a 420 around town and feels more alive. The 420 is hampered by a silly diff ratio
Nothing wrong with a six.
My SL350 has a 3.7-litre six and it’s a pleasure to drive. I don’t feel any difference to driving the CLK430, save for the burble of the V8.

The proud new owner.
Nice to have him in a safe, solid Automobile and peace of mind that it comes from a real enthusiast, we didn't even drive it, no need, it's been in the hands of c107 👍
And yes that is a smile, teenager style.
