The white 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC 6.0 AMG Wide-Body (C126) is all about proportion. Its extended arches and deeper bumpers give the coupe a wider, lower stance, while the grille, exterior trim and wheel centres continue the white theme. The result feels unusually cohesive, especially in the opening front three-quarter view.

Move around the front and the AMG conversion becomes clearer: the reshaped bumper meets the flared front wings without losing the SEC's formal outline. White wheel centres echo the bodywork, and the side skirts carry that visual line toward the rear. In profile, the coupe remains elegant despite the dramatic extra width.

At the back, the rear arches and boot spoiler complete the wide-body shape. The white finish keeps those added surfaces easy to read, while the twin exhaust tips and AMG badge provide smaller points of detail. This coupe's presence comes from the relationship between its broad bodywork and colour-matched wheels.

Inside, Recaro sport seats, an AMG Nardi steering wheel, wood trim and white instrument dials change the mood. The final engine-bay photographs show AMG-marked hardware associated with the documented 6.0-litre V8. These details connect the imposing exterior to the period cabin and mechanical presentation without reducing the car to a list of figures.
