Strange placement of the I on the speedo at 56km/h as the 1st gear goes ~ 75km/h. II and III are right and I miss those markers in newer cars. Also we call any 126 THE ONLY SHAPE THAT EXISTS!
I have seen the same Thing but maybe that is the difference between full throttle E or S mode . In the S mode IT Will rev further . En mode is 500rpm less in most gears . But did nog try that
@@JMSpeedshop I don't think that's the case, other 560 SEC models have their 1st gear marker around 66-67kmh. Do a Google image search, and you'll see what I mean. It appears this gauge's markings are similar to lower-end models. I wonder if this car in your video had a guage swap, maybe to show lower KMs?
In your 0-60 run u could see the gas needle dropping lol I still wouldn’t care id take one of these and be happy to go to the gas station every 2-3 days still awesome car
Ooit eens in een witte 560 SEL gereden. Met 200 per uur nog even de hoofdsteunen (elektrisch) verstellen !!! Dat was zo'n ECE uitvoering en ik geloof bouwjaar 1989 maar weet dat niet zeker. Die SEC is mooi maar voor mij enkel in dat donkere grijs.
I took a look at the seller's website. They want 53K Euros for this. It is in very good condition, but you can get this car for much cheaper in the U.S. It might need some work, but if you found a good mechanic it would still probably be less expensive.
This car is like new and a European version is word a lot more the. A US version. US models are build more. A 560 sec is pretty rare because IT was much more expensive from new Then in the US. This price is high . But You Will get a lot of car for that money
Yes you are right, but this is for the European market, and here the 560 SECs are gaining value rapidly. Now it's very normal to see people asking 20k regardless of the kms. So 53k doesn't seem out of reason. Luckily my father bought one in 2001 for 6k😂. Blau Schwartz with palomino interior, my favorite combo.
Volgens mij is het andersom. die waarde van 7 betreft het aantal kilometers per liter (1 op 7). Dus 13.5 liters...per 100 km. Bij vlot rijden kom je al snel bij 1 op 5 uit. Als je de hele tijd zo sportief onderweg bent (7.4 seconden naar 100 is echt goed, gezien de leeftijd) zul je eerder naar 1 op 3 neigen, schat ik persoonlijk!
i counted much less than 7.4 sec to 100km/h... more like 6.9 sec. in my clock!!!! watching that sec makes me forget about which sec im talking about anyway!!!
No . C126 had standard rear hydraulic self lieveling suspension. In the front the se and wel had the option for the front . As far as i know the sec did not have front self leveling suspension as An option
It has been done ruclips.net/video/8L58cA8oSVc/видео.html Sounds great. Then again, in this video Johan said that the original engine can produce up to 1000hp on stock internals. That should be more than enough for anybody.
Totally different class back then...no crappy plastic, cheap material used like today..
The first time I saw this car was in Roadhouse and I fell in love 😂😮
One of my favorite Mercedes, absolutely beautiful..
Absolutely stunning car one of the many great cars Mercedes produced. A personal favourite.
For me in the U.S. it is the 86/87. I was a Benz mechanic for 17 years and those are my faves.
I see one in my near future.
nice
What is it about the 86/87 in particular?
@@mr.butterworth I guess it's the ability to Hotrod them. It's real easy to wring horsepower out of em without breaking the bank
Greatest car ever made 👍💯
Sony H K I agree
And much regrettably, new Mercs are not a patch for the engineering, quality, and sheer class of this C126
Absolutely love these cars was geeking out watching SEC reviews all over RUclips that led me to your channel great review u gained another subscriber
thanks very much for the support !!
One of the greatest cars.
Fantastico amazing 🤩 cars W126 560 SEC I have had a few of these I still own a 560 SEC 🤩👍👌
I strongly doubt the 7l/100km claim but I love the car. One of the best looking cars for me
1ltr on 7 km
@@JMSpeedshop Haha very likely!
😬
@@JMSpeedshop ie. 14 L/100km which sounds about right given my experience with other W126 cars
You can't get even that with today engines! 12-13 l / 100 km with gentle driving.
560SEC fantastic car!! Great video. 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks 👍
Cool education on the motors. Has always been a mystery to me, especially here in the states.
Great vid, love the SEC
I mean, does it get any more ICONIC than the W123 and the W126??????? GORGEOUS!!!
For sure

Mooi ece is wel de top versie vind ik lekker alles open en vol vermogen.

So the Japan version (with US and Australia) is how much HP again? 🤔

ja 1ltr op 7 klm. 7.4 sec is niet slecht maar de auto heeft maar 52k gelopen dus dat is ook best weinig.
I remember in early 90s I saw one with a V12 😊 so what I saw is real ?
I the early 90 not i think
😍🤤 daar zou ik wel eens een ritje in willen maken
Dat kan . Contact henkgrooten.nl
Wat een geweldige auto inderdaad!
Which type of grey color is that? Need to paint my 190e
Color code:122. Color name:Permutt Grau Metallic.
How much is a timing belt change on this one?? I just wonder how much is to keep a beast like this???
Timing chain . No need to change. Easy Go 300k klm
Mercedes is Mercedes
Special car..
I got it to around 7,0s
i counted much less than 7.4 sec to 100km/h... more like 6.9 sec. in my clock!!!! watching that sec makes me forget about which sec im talking about anyway!!!
😎
these only came in rwd right?
yes
Air suspension?
No . C126 had standard rear hydraulic self lieveling suspension. In the front the se and wel had the option for the front . As far as i know the sec did not have front self leveling suspension as An option
The 560SEC came with self levelling suspensions, not available on the 420 and 500
Vroeger mijn droom auto, totdat ik 'm een dag mocht lenen, en de benzine moest betalen....
haha
how much ???
