[W126 Coupe] South Africa

[Dawid Loubser]

Hi Kent,

If I am not mistaken, the 560SEC was never built in South Africa -  
can anybody confirm this?

I am also under the impression that the SEC never came standard with  
remote central locking.
My 1990 560SEC has the built-in immobiliser / burglar alarm (keys  
with the red dot on them)
but I have never seen a remote key - I think it was only introduced  
in the next generation.

Just for interest's sake, what is the mileage, and what did you pay?  
And you should send us pictures of your car :-)

Dawid
