1990 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC | London

A 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC, the V8 flagship of the 1980s S-Class coupé range. It is a long two-door with no pillar between the front and rear side windows, and it is known as a fast, composed tourer. This car is finished in metallic grey with black leather inside, a restrained pairing that looks expensive on camera. With the side windows down, the cabin is open to view from outside, and the long flanks give clean profile shots. The 5.5-litre V8 runs smoothly, the condition is excellent, and the cabin seats four. That combination suits photography, fashion and editorial shoots, and film or TV scenes set around 1990, where an executive coupé sets the tone. Events gain a stately arrival car. A wedding or a personal drive fits just as well. It is based in London.
