Amazing original factory specification
Lots of paperwork tracking the cars life
Drives and presents fantastic
Original Becker Europa Cassette Radio

We are very pleased to bring to market this stunning Mercedes 450 SEL. Finished in light metallic blue with a contrasting blue leather interior, it is in outstanding condition for its age and really needs to be seen to be apricated. It is the correct factory specification even down to the Becker Europa radio cassette still sat happily in the vast dashboard that this car has. The paintwork is in beautiful condition showing very minor patina and the interior, that according to some paperwork was retrimmed in 1997, is like new.

The paperwork is quite substantial detailing such things as when the car was sorned off the road, some details of previous owners, invoices for various works carried out, magazine articles, sales literature, owner’s club valuations, old MOTs and tax discs, as well as the original owner’s handbook. The car also comes with its first aid kit and warning triangle, a set of period “Mexican hat“ wheels if you wish to change the appearance, some new door rubbers and other small maintenance parts. It is currently sat on the original wheels with the coloured wheel trims which in turn are sat on a recent set of new matching tyres.

The 450 SE was named the European Car of the Year in 1974, even though the W116 range was first introduced at the Paris Motor Show in the Winter of 1972. The W116 range became the first production car to use an electronic four-wheel multi-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS) from Bosch as an option from 1978 on. Production totalled 473, 035 units. The W116 was succeeded by the W126 S-Class in 1979. The W116 was sold throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia.

This really is a rare car and especially in this condition. If you are a serious fan or collector of Mercedes-Benz cars, you have to have one of these in your garage. Remember this was the pinnacle of wealth to have one of these back in the day and it is the car that started the “S” class line of cars for Mercedes. It’s always good to have the first of any model and here is the chance to get a good one.
