Description

One of Mercedes' most luxurious performance cars, manufactured in only 6,500 units. Silver metallic paint, sunroof, leather interior and a fuel-injected V8 engine of 6.3 litres with automatic transmission. The car did 0-100km / h in 6.5 sec. This was a sensation and the car became one of the most luxurious, fast and comfortable cars manufactured in the 1970s. This copy was imported to Sweden from the USA in 2011 (most were sold in the USA). Only 1 user in Sweden, who has had it since 2011 and now has decided to make a reduction in his collection. Original jack and tool kit included. The spare wheel is equipped with a contemporary Goodyear diagonal tyre with a white wall. See pictures. The car has an older, professional finish and is straight and nice in the body and without damage or rust. Only a few repairs / improvements on the sills, at the jack mounts can be seen when you look at the car carefully. The interior is complete and nice, the seats are professionally upholstered in leather, in original design. Otherwise untouched and good original condition. (The meter reading indicates 44523 miles, which corresponds to 74000 km. Could be 144,000 miles, We have not been able to verify the meter reading).

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Equipped with Mercedes' large 6.3-litre V8 with Bosch fuel injection that develops 250hp, and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with air-conditioning. The car is easy to start. Drives nicely and steadily on the road during test driving. The speedometer is graded in miles per hour. This means that the meter reading 44523 is also stated in miles. This corresponds to about 74350 km. The sunroof runs nicely and quietly.

  • Interior condition:

    Fine leather interior and hardwood inlays on the dashboard. The seats are professionally reuppholstered just over 10 years ago and still in new condition. Nice headliner. The door cards are fresh and original. Equipped with contemporary Blaupunkt / Becker car radio. One of the sun visors has come loose in the bracket, which is rather easy to fix. Slightly dry rubber seals on the doors. Nice luggage space. The luggage mat is of a universal model.

  • Exterior condition:

    Straight and nice body with even door spaces. The spare wheel tubs appear to be replaced, but it is only visible on the inside. See pictures. Clean and neat chassis. New exhaust system in stainless steel is installed. Equipped with later Mercedes aluminium wheels that fit very well on the car model, especially against the silver-coloured paint on this model.

Facts about the model

Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL var lyxmodellen hos Mercedes-Benz mellan mars 1966 och september 1972. Bilen hade exklusivare interiör än sina enklare syskon och fick beteckningen W109. Den var försedd med den stora sexan och luftfjädringen från företrädaren W112. Mercedes gjorde gällande att L:et i modellnamnet stod för just Luftfederung (luftfjädring). På Genèvesalongen 1968 introducerade Mercedes sin nya prestandabomb 300 SEL 6.3. Under motorhuven på W109-karossen hade man klämt ner den stora V8-motorn M100 från lyxlimousinen 600. Den enda skillnaden som gick att se på utsidan var det ytterst diskreta märket 6.3 på bagageluckan.
Prestandamässigt var skillnaden desto större.
Resultatet blev en fyrdörrars sedanmodell med prestanda som få renodlade sportbilar kunde matcha. Accelerationen från 0 – 100 km/h på 6,5 sekunder, samt 0 - 200 km/h på 31 sekunder och en toppfart på 220 km/h är imponerande siffror ännu idag. Detta är dock Mercedes egna siffror, flertalet tidningstester talar om lite sämre prestanda. Bilens unika ställning på marknaden, utan några egentliga konkurrenter, gjorde den till en framgång och när produktionen upphörde i september 1972 hade man byggt 6 500 exemplar.
