Description:

1985 Mercedes-Benz 380 SEC W126

The Mercedes-Benz 380 SEC is a grand coupe that defined understated European luxury during the 1980s. As part of the legendary W126 series, it combined advanced engineering with timeless style, offering a perfect balance of performance, comfort, and prestige.

This 1985 example is finished in elegant blue over leather seating for four, and presents in largely original condition. Powered by Mercedes’ smooth 3.8-litre V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic, it retains hallmark features of the model, including air conditioning, auto-retracting seat belts, power windows, power seats, cruise control, a power sunroof, and classic alloy wheels. Logbooks are included, with age-related marks and scratches noted (see photos and video).

The W126 SEC was more than just a car - it was a symbol of power and success in the 1980s. Favoured by executives, celebrities, and even world leaders, it was often seen in films and television as the ultimate "gentleman’s express." Its pillarless coupe design remains one of Mercedes’ most admired silhouettes, projecting confidence and elegance with every line. Even today, the 380 SEC carries with it that aura of prestige, representing the golden age of Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship.
