1987 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC | Southend-on-Sea, Essex

A 1987 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC, the two-door coupé version of the W126 S-Class, powered by a five-litre V8. It is known for its long doors, pillarless side windows and the calm, formal presence of a 1980s Mercedes. This car is finished in gold with a beige interior, a warm pairing that reads well in daylight. With the side windows down there is no pillar to interrupt the view into the cabin, which seats four. The long body gives a clean profile for side-on shots and rolling footage. The 1980s coupé shape suits advertising, photography, fashion and editorial shoots, and period film, TV or music video work, where the pillarless glass and long lines carry the decade. It also makes a composed arrival for a wedding or personal occasion. The car is based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
