1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC

Are you looking for the last of the Great Ones! It is a rare car indeed; 1990 was the second last year that Mercedes-Benz Top Model, the 560SEC was produced. Only 5270 1990 560SEC's were made worldwide.

This is a very rare Lorinser Version. Lorinser parts include:

• Full Body Kit Including Rear Spoiler
• Steering Wheel
• 17" Two-Piece Wheels
• Muffler
• Dash

• Upgraded AMG Springs
• Upgraded Shocks

This car has service records from 1994-2003!

Finding a 1990 SEC with this low mileage and in good condition is almost impossible and when you do people want an arm and a leg for them.

What sets this car apart from the rest is it is a Euro Version. You get more horsepower and torque. (Read 560 Data in the left hand column). Horizontal Headlight Aiming on the dash is unique.

This is a European Version of the 560SEC. It has a much cleaner, sleek look since the front and rear bumpers are designed the way Mercedes-Benz wanted them. The U.S./Canadian versions were blessed with significantly oversized fat front and rear bumpers in order to meet DOT/TC standards.

The Euro version is five inches shorter due to the smaller bumpers, looks way better and is lighter and faster.

There are a few unique features this car has that are not always found on North American versions:

• Dash Adjustable Horizontal Headlight Aiming
• Speedometer is in Kilometers only (0-300km/h)
• More Powerful Engine (see specs. below) There is a reason why this car is referred to as a "Porsche Hunter" on the Autobahn.

• Most 560's have 2 exhaust manifolds connecting to one collector pipe directly behind the motor. This 560SEC has separate dual exhaust going almost to the back of the car.
