A pair of New 1991 560's added to the stable!

I just added a couple of new cars to my garage and kind of excited as they are both "Bucket-List" cars for me. I have had 3 other W126's in the past but none as nice.

The W126 is an awesome machine, the 1991's the most desirable as they are the last of the model year and the most perfect.

My newest additions are a Black on Black SEL (pics below) and a White over Gray SEC (pics coming)

The SEL has only 47K on the clock and is about as flawless as they come, if not Museum grade.
The SEC has a few more, about 60K and is not perfect but the deal was not one to pass on....plus, never having owned an SEC before, I am really looking forward to driving it!

1991 Mercedes 420SEL
Wow!

That car looks like it rolled right off the showroom floor! Excellent find!
I'm new to the Mercedes world, having recently bought a 1991 420SEL- My first foreign car in 35 years of driving and I love it!
I have tried to obtain headlamp wiper blades through probably 10+ online retailers to no avail....
Would you happen to know where these can be found?
Sir, I would greatly appreciate any information that you may have for this 'newbie' into Benz Land....

Thanking you in advance,

Here’s a few shots of the SEC....I’m having a bunch of work done to her so more once she’s out in the fray.

I am getting ready to list her, here and a few other places....It's truly one of the sweetest rides I have found. There is so much new, I will list it all when I post in the Classifieds later this month.
Sadly, I am disabled and getting in and out of the car is a bit more challenging than my 500SEL's & 560SEL's & CLS550 because the B-Pillar is so far back and I use that as a tool to get up and balance myself.

Bittersweet but the SEC has been re-homed to Naples FL. I hope she serves him well. I really do miss this lady!
