[W126 Coupe] 560 sec US Sales

[toelsner at mindspring.com]

btw..I am in Northern Cal and just in this last week or so I have seen 3-4 SECs I hadn't seen before on my drive to and from work.  Makes me wonder how many of the US Sales were to CA.

I did have a 1980 Rover SD1 (3500).  Only 800 or so came into the US in total, all in 1980, all to CA.  Unfortunately it caught fire and burnt to the ground (they had a tendency to to do that).

I came across this info and thought the group, or new SEC owners,  may find it interesting.

I have a laminated 560 SEC Coupe Spec sheet I would put in the window at car shows with all the info on these cars.  It has all the Engine, Trans, Suspension, tires/rims, brakes, wheelbase, etc. on it for the years listed above.  Anyone interested, email me off-site wcooley at tampabay.rr.com and I will send it to you.  Bill
