[W126 Coupe] South Africa

[Eddie]

Right, I have never heard of a w126 with OEM integrated key and remote.
There are now quite a few aftermarket options though.

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

Hi

I just bought a 560 SEC 1989, (I think, but it was advertised as 1991), it
is built in South Africa 126.0456A425471, can anyone explain which year.
(this is my fourth, I had in Sweden a 500 SEC 1985, a 560 SEC 1986 and a 420
SEC 1987, 6.5 years in total from a few months old, sold the 420 in 1989)

It has the rear curtain, and no airbags.

When was the remote central locking introduced, my one has an aftermarket
but I would prefer the one that is built-in in the key.
