Chrises Cars

Michael Jackson’s previously owned Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL has been put up for auction in New York.

The king of pop who passed away in June this year was the first owner of the 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL.

Michael purchased this Mercedes for use in his 2,600 acre, South California Neverland Estate.

The auction will be held at Julien’s Auctions and the president, Darren Julien had this to say, “What’s even more significant is that we have photos of Michael driving the car.

“When have you seen Michael Jackson driving a car? He was always chauffeured or driven.”

This Mercedes 500 comes with a 5litre V8 engine that produces 302bhp and is driven by a 4 speed automatic gearbox.

Jackson later gave his Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL to his aunt for her birthday, which she responded to by personalizing the Merc’s numberplate to read “TKS # MKL”.

The car will be auctioned off at Julien’s Auction’s “Music Icons” lot on Saturday the 21st of November at the Hard Rock Café in New York.
