1986 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEC c126 the classic for everyday driving

Four years after the debut of the SEC coupé, the model range underwent an extensive package of refinements, and so on September 1985, again at the Frankfurt show, a completely revised range of S-Class saloons and coupés was introduced. In addition to a subtle facelift, which mainly altered the appearance of the bumpers, side skirts and wheels, the emphasis was on a restructured engine line-up. Another new addition was the 4.2-liter V8 engine, a rebored version of the old 3.8-liter unit which is now replaced in the SEC coupé, S-Class saloon, and SL. The other stylistic modifications that had been carried out on the improved models of the 126 series not only served to update the design but had also been integrated for specific technical reasons. By lowering the aprons it was possible to further reduce front-axle lift forces and improve airflow at the rear. This also had the effect of further enhancing directional stability and road adhesion when moving at speed. The lateral protective strips were now smooth in design rather than grooved, and like the bumper system, they reached down lower and included additional trim on the frame side members.
