The six used Mercedes models to buy now before prices rise
The S-Class has always been the ultimate in luxury but it wasn't offered as a two-door coupé until the C126 in 1981. 'The 560SEC was as good as it got from Mercedes-Benz back in the late 1980s and early 1990s,' said Simon Haynes from John Haynes Mercedes-Benz maintenance and restoration.
The facelifted second series model was introduced in 1986 with a new 5.5-litre V8 for the 560. But it retained the handsome appearance of the first series.
Haynes added: 'The timeless looks of this pillarless coupe, along with its V8 engine performance, give you both style and substance. But the challenge is to find a good example, both in terms of condition and sensible mileage. If you're able to do that then it will provide a great investment into the future.
'Limited numbers of worthwhile candidates available to purchase mean prices can be varied. The very best examples will command a premium now – but expect that premium to be even greater in the future.'
