The 560 SEL offered here was acquired by its current owners
brand-new from Autohaus, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, on 27 April 1987,
finished in Black (040) over Grey leather (278) interior, with
optional orthopedic seats, floor mats, and pinstriping, as noted in
the original sales and delivery paperwork. It was gently driven
just over 3,100 actual miles and regularly registered through 1996,
before being retired to the owner's private collection, alongside
his antique and special interest automobiles, and has remained
tucked away ever since. Only recently emerging, it is almost
certainly one of the lowest-mileage examples of this model to be
found, and would be a fascinating addition to any modern
Mercedes-Benz stable.To view this car and others currently
