    Koenig Specials is known for their wild body kits with the iconic side strakes - a feature that would see them sued by Ferrari. Prior to that lawsuit, Koenig Specials modified limited numbers of the Mercedes C126 SEC, and even fewer of the W126 SEL. We have several Koenig SECs in the collection, but driving our two Koenig Specials SELs feels on another level. The blend of 4-door comfort with the extravagant optics of the Koenig body kit is just unmatched. This particular red beast is a car we restored and customized in the Middle East prior to joining us in the Kingdom of Boca!

    From the famous AMG Hammer to the Koenig Specials 560 SEC, The Patina Collective is home to the world's most unique and influential Mercedes-Benz. We are not car guys though. We are culture guys. We appreciate these cars for their cultural relevance and the eras of Miami Vice and 80s opulence that they symbolize. The rarest tuner Mercedes from SGS Styling Garage, ABC Exclusive, Koenig Specials, RennTech, Brabus, pre-merger AMG, Gemballa, Maybach, and more, all lie within our Mercedes collection in Boca Raton, Florida. Benz culture runs deep in our blood and we aim to share with you all our passion, knowledge, and dedication to keeping these widebody cars alive. This is more than a car collection for us - more than a vintage Mercedes collection - it is a preservation of global cultural history!

    Very very clean car, always loved the Koenig Specials and that red with white interior is beautiful! However I did seem to notice some fisheye in the rear bumper and also noticed around the gas cap and rear it looks like it could use a good buffing 😮 I am sure this was not a cheap build, regardless still a beauty!!❤
