1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL | Tregony with Cuby, Cornwall

The 560SEL is the long-wheelbase saloon in the W126 S-Class range, a flagship Mercedes of the 1980s with a V8 engine and a roomy rear compartment. It is known for solid construction and a calm, formal way of travelling. The Second Series styling of the W126 reads clearly as an executive car of its decade. This car is finished in black with a black interior, a sober pairing that gives it a formal, boardroom look. The extra length shows in its long, clean sides, which give a photographer plenty of car to work with, and in a deep back seat for passengers. Period film and television productions can use it as a 1980s business or diplomatic car. Advertising, music video and fashion shoots get a dark, polished backdrop, and corporate events gain a formal arrival car. It also makes a dignified wedding car. The car is based in Cornwall.
