This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL is a European-market example which was imported to the US in 1987 and shows just 24k miles from new. The car is finished in Black over Light Brown Velour (934) and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes anti-lock brakes, a power passenger-side mirror, dual-zone automatic climate control and a power tilt/slide sunroof. Modifications performed prior to the car being imported include aftermarket bodywork, Rial wheels, lowering springs, Recaro Ideal C seats, a Blaupunkt audio system and more. Recent maintenance includes a new fuel pump, filter and hoses, a new brake master cylinder, and hoses and new tires. Service history dating back to 1987 is included with the car. This 500SEL is now offered for sale by the current owner with the original first-aid kit, a clean Carfax report and a clean Maryland title.

Mix of period parts. Liking the velour matched Recaros and period Rials. The blended grill...

The worn driver's bolster and undercarriage suggest a hard life.

Yes, total mix. Grill is a Vestatec product, used by i.e. Lorinser.
