Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6. 3 — Ex-Gunter Sachs
A piece of automotive and cultural history.
This sublime Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6. 3 belonged to Gunter Sachs — an iconic figure of the 1960s and 70s, a wealthy industrialist, a recognised photographer and former husband of Brigitte Bardot. A true man of the world, he left his mark on his era with his flamboyant lifestyle, his love of art and his passion for fine engineering.
A handwritten document in his own hand accompanies the vehicle (visible among the photos), drawn up on the occasion of the sale of the car. This personal note adds an intimate and historical dimension to an already exceptional example.
It reads:
"Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum 300 SEL.
Ich freue mich für Sie – und auch zu wissen,
wo das Auto heute fährt.
Mit herzlichen Grüßen,
Gunter Sachs"
Translation:
"Congratulations on the 300 SEL.
I am happy for you –
and also to know where the car travels today.
With kind regards,
Gunter Sachs"
