First introduced in 1965, the Mercedes-Benz W108/ W109 twins replaced the W111/ W112 full-size luxury sedans (the coupe/ cabriolet models built on those chassis were kept in production for several more years). Stylistically, the new sedans were nearly identical to the company’s flagship, the 600, and featured roomier interiors and updated engines to entice buyers. Initially, the W108 and long-wheelbase-only W109 were solely offered with Inline-6s, but the desire for higher performance and long-distance comfort required the company to introduce several different V8s.
Of these, most were 3. 5L models sold worldwide, though the company offered a 4. 5L options for the US to compensate for our ever-changing emissions standards. However, the most powerful and desirable of the W109 models is the 300 SEL 6. 3. First introduced in 1968, the new car featured the 6. 3L V8 used in the range-topping 600. The result was a car that could easily keep up with period sports cars – all while offering the luxury inherent to the design of the car. Today, these cars are fondly remembered for their effortless performance, timeless style, and remarkably modern driving experience.
The magnificent 1968 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6. 3 Sedan featured here is finished in striking Champagne Metallic over a Cognac leather interior featuring stunning Zebrano woodwork throughout. This investment-grade Mercedes-Benz was delivered new in Italy and in later imported to the US by James Walgreen of the drugstore chain. Mr. Walgreen carefully maintained and seldom drove his 300 SEL during his nearly three decades of ownership. This exceptional Mercedes-Benz was subject to a comprehensive restoration and is ready to join any world-class collection. With its status as an early-production European-specification example with 25% more power than its American counterparts, this 300 SEL 6. 3 is an absolute joy to drive - it is easy to see how this was the fastest sedan in the world for many years after its release. With great pride we offer this incredible Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6. 3 to the most sophisticated collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this iconic model!
