Mercedes-Benz 350 SE — 1974

This Mercedes 350 SE W116 "S-Class" is particularly sought after because it features the 3.5-liter V8 engine, which was the top-of-the-line option for executive cars in 1974.

"The current owner, a Mercedes enthusiast, purchased this car in 2020. Since then, it has undergone a review with the brakes, handbrake, and battery replaced, and an oil service completed. The car is now permanently inspection-exempt. It runs and drives well, with a solid engine, automatic gearbox, and effective brakes. However, the odometer appears to have stopped working some time ago, so the actual mileage is likely closer to 200,000 km"

Description

This car was imported from Germany in 1986 by its then-owner, who married a German man and brought the car with them when they moved to Sweden. They owned it until 2007, after which it was owned by a gentleman from Mjölby until 2016. The current owner acquired it in 2020.

The W116 was Mercedes-Benz's flagship luxury sedan, produced from September 1972 until 1980. It was the first model to officially bear the S-Class designation, though earlier sedans had unofficially been referred to as the 'S' class—short for Sonderklasse, meaning 'special class'. The 350 SE, powered by a 3.5-liter V8 engine, was particularly sought after by those in search of a top-tier Mercedes-Benz.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As mentioned, the car runs and drives well, and it recently passed its final inspection, making it exempt from future inspections. A newer rear exhaust section has been installed, though it needs better mounting. The engine bay would benefit from a thorough cleaning, but otherwise, the car is in good mechanical condition. It has good alloy wheels with older tires.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is complete and would look much nicer with a proper valet. The seats are fitted with covers that seem to have been in place since new, though the condition underneath hasn't been thoroughly inspected. The mats, headliner, door cards, and instrumentation are all in good condition overall. However, the dashboard panel has a noticeable crack (see pictures).

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has been partially repainted and shows signs of paint fading, a rougher finish, and some color shade differences, as shown in the pictures. Ideally, it would benefit from a full repaint. The bodywork has a few rust spots, notably around the front lower valance under the bumper, the rear lower wing, and a spot on the passenger side floor/sill. However, it remains in better condition with less rust compared to many other 1970s Mercedes models.

  • General condition:

    These older 1970s Mercedes models are gaining popularity among buyers for their blend of comfort and power. This car can be driven as-is for many years, with the existing rust issues being relatively easy to address. A repaint would enhance its appearance and further increase its appeal.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
