Seller's comments about 1989' Mercedes-Benz 190

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at Supercar Fest 2026 on Saturday the 16th of May, Sywell Aerodrome, Sywell, Northampton, NN6 0BN. The Mercedes-Benz W126 SEC, when enhanced by AMG, represented the pinnacle of late-1980s luxury and performance. Prior to AMG’s full integration with Mercedes-Benz, such cars were individually specified and modified, resulting in a wide variety of highly distinctive and now increasingly collectible examples. This example was built in early January 1989, supplied new to Hong Kong on January 25th and first registered there on 14th February 1989. It's inished in Blue-Black Metallic (199U) over a classic black leather interior and is described as a fully dechromed example, a style often associated with AMG’s more aggressive aesthetic of the period. It was optioned with a Becker radio cassette, automatic climate control, limited-slip differential, tropical battery and a factory fire extinguisher.Further distinguishing features include electric Recaro front seats, AMG Penta five-spoke alloy wheels, widened wheel arches and quarter panels, and a subtle rear boot spoiler, all contributing to the unmistakable ‘Wide-Body’ appearance that defines these cars. When motivated by the standard 5547cc M117 E56 V8,  power output was around 300bhp offering 0-60 in 6. 8 seconds and 150mph Indicating 137, 616km (85, 511 miles) at the time of cataloguing, the car was first registered in the UK on 19/ 08/ 2003 and has had six former registered keepers since. It's accompanied by a detailed history file understood to contain its original order form from Mercedes-Benz distributor Zung Fu Co. Ltd., along with its original title paperwork. A collection of service records and invoices, many made out to Caribe’s Investments Ltd., document its early life, while its time in the UK is supported by a stamped service book, further invoices, previous MOT certificates and the current one valid until August 2026. More recently, the car has formed part of a private collection since 2020 and is described as having been used sparingly during this period. As such, it now presents an opportunity for its next custodian to acquire a distinctive and well-documented example of an increasingly sought-after AMG variant. Wide-body SECs remain among the most visually impactful and desirable AMG-modified Mercedes-Benz models of the era. Combining presence, performance and period individuality, this example is likely to appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Interested parties are encouraged to inspect the car in person at our Iconic Sale at Supercar Fest 2026 to fully appreciate its specification, condition and provenance. Please note, this description is awaiting approval by our vendor and therefore may be subject to change.
