Last week I had a short but great date with a Mercedes Benz S 580e. Of course I didn't have time again... as always... but a few photos had to be taken. The price for this car was €204,000... 😎👍

The pinnacle of the C126 series, the 560 SEC remains one of the most beautiful coupés in Mercedes-Benz history. Its 5.6L V8 engine delivers outstanding performance, while its timeless bodywork, designed by Bruno Sacco, is pure perfection: it is the symbol of German refinement in the 1980s!

 

Our model was delivered by Mercedes-Benz Hamburg in August 1987 in this elegant combination of Smoke Silver Metallic (702U) with an Anthracite leather interior (271). Crucially, the car has the rare 822 option, boosting the power of its V8 to 300 hp. In November 1989, the car was registered in Italy, before returning to France in 2016 with 106,000 km on the clock. Today, it is in extremely rare condition: most of the paintwork is original (the rear section has been repainted, measurements available on request), and the upholstery, also original, is in perfect condition.

 

During our test drive, we were struck by the overall quality of the car and its condition. The two previous owners had covered many expenses, resulting in the car’s current condition! In June 2024, the car joined the collection of its current owner, who drove it only a few kilometres before deciding to part with it. The value of the 560 SEC has risen in recent years, regularly exceeding the €30,000 mark! This high-quality example is being offered at a very attractive estimate... Don’t miss out!

T357 and S303 rumble across the viaduct at Boorcan with 9261, the down Warrnambool goods train. The new build skeletal broad gauge container wagons behind the S Class are the only sign that this photo was taken in the 21st Century!

P&OTA had purchased 4471 and 4477 from CFCL Australia to operate their daily container trip train between Yennora and Port Botany although other CFCLA motive power often deputised for the aging alcos which were often out of service for repairs.

Production began in 1979 and continued until 1991, with a major update in 1985. The sedans were available as S, SE and SEL models, the latter featuring a wheelbase extended by 14 cm. Buyers could choose from 4 petrol engines offered in 13 power variants. Important new safety technologies, such as electronically controlled ABS, were introduced. It was also one of the first cars to undergo highly comprehensive crash tests. The excellent characteristics and high build quality led to enormous commercial success, with a total production of 818.063 units. Bruno Sacco was responsible for the design.

S300 and S311 have just arrived at Central with the AK cars. They have just ran around their train and are seen awaiting their departure.

Apart from brief periods of storage it run all the way through to Freight Australia and eventually Pacific National and was painted inyo the Pacific National scheme but stored shortly after. In 2019 it was passed on to preservation to 707 operations where it now has been rostered to operable condition in the Pacific National scheme still.

Eastbourne Magnificent Motors - May 2022

Veteran EMD streamliners B61, S317 and GM27 have seen plenty of sunrises over the course of their careers. On a warm summer evening in January 2014, these three veterans find themselves quietly contemplating their futures in Eskbank Yard, Lithgow. Hopefully the gathering storm clouds overhead are not a metaphor for their future.

Completed at the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen factory in August of 1989, this exceptional 560 SEL was delivered new to AMG Japan for further fettling prior to delivery to its first owner. It is thus equipped with the hand-built 6.0-litre AMG version of the M117 V-8 engine with four valve heads. Its peak power output of 375 bhp makes it a very different proposition to the standard 560 SEL with its 285 bhp. The AMG body kit was also added, alongside three-piece split-rim wheels, an AMG instrument cluster, steering wheel, and overmats.

 

Showing just over 60,000 kilometres, it is in good condition for its age, free of corrosion and showing minimal cosmetic wear. It is accompanied by a rich service history which attests to routing ‘no expense spared’ servicing every two years in Japan; indeed, the three annual service bills between 2009 and 2013 total over €14.000. More recently it has been imported to Switzerland, where it has continued to be regularly maintained and exercised.

 

Pre-merger AMG build numbers are notoriously scarce, but it is believed that less than 200 of these 6.0 SELs were made. Few would more usable than this well-cared-for example.

S317, T363, P16 and S312 roll into Nullawil yard at the head of 9197 empty grain from Tottenham. The impressive silo art on the former grain silo is a hard shot to pass up.

 

The locos will split into two pairs to allow them to run around their train which is too long for the loop. Once the train has been remarshalled, they'll push their consist back underneath the modern loader (located to the right of frame) before departing for Melbourne that afternoon.
