The plus
They don't make them like they used to... In a world where 'luxury' is defined by technology and smartphone connectivity, it's so refreshing to see a car whose merits lie elsewhere. Simply put, the 300 SE Coupé is nothing more than a beautifully designed, beautifully engineered and beautifully assembled car. Now that's what we call luxury. Designed by Mercedes-Benz legends Paul Bracq and Friedrich Geiger, the W112 earned an enviable reputation for quality that would become synonymous with the marque.
This remarkable 1966 example is absolutely stunning in black and sports a gentle patina in keeping with its considerable age. Certain aspects have been refreshed over the years, including the complete professional refurbishment of the interior woodwork and polishing of the paintwork.
Stored in a heated garage, this Mercedes has been preserved in very good condition, apparently free from corrosion. As a rarely used, unmodified collector car, it offers a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to own a piece of automotive history. image.png3.42 MB

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.
✓ We ask that a non-refundable fee is paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photographs and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.
✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI-checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
✓ Buyers are responsible for the collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third party transport company who can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
