Description: 1968 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6. 3, this legendary 6. 3 was Mercedes-Benz’s version of the muscle car and the car that led to the creation of the AMG division. Mercedes took a massive 6. 3 litre V8 and all the high tech options from the 600 Pullman and put it into the vastly smaller and lighter W109 body. The result was the first super salon, with 300bhp it was capable of 0-100km in 6. 5 seconds and cruising at 125 mph with five passengers on-board. This iconic model was the fastest production saloon for decades. Mercedes only made 6526 of this world beating car. This was largely due to the cost of the car, which at over $15, 000 US in 1967 cost almost 2. 5 times more than an E-type Jag!

This example is one of the first 500 produced and has a VIN 109018 12 000075. The car belonged to a Swiss collector for many years who traded it to a German dealer in part exchange for a Riley, who then sold it to me.

As the car was more of a museum piece and was sat in a private garage on display, since shipping the car from Germany to the UK, I’ve spent over £4500 re-commissioning the car at Wright-Tech and then classic Mercedes specialist Schmitt Motors.
Works in addition to a full service are remove and refit gear box, renew gaskets and seals for gear box, a replaced fuel pump, replaced spark plugs, replace fuel filter, specialist fuel tank refurbishment, replaced rear window switch and multi switch, all gaskets for pump, speedo and pump, list but a few.
Body & Paint: The Body is in immaculate condition for the age, the chrome on the car is in great original condition and no sign of rust.

Interior: Dark blue leather interior which is flawless with no rips or wear and tear. Seats are comfortable and supportive. Wood is in great shape, all original and completely presentable. All electrics work as designed. Carpets and floor mats are original and in great shape. The steering wheel is original, with a crack please see picture. The original dash, Original stereo which plays through the centre speaker in the dash. Power windows go up and down, Power sun roof.

Air Suspension: Works perfectly- up, down, the car will sit for a couple of weeks without any noticeable drop in the suspension, but I try to drive it a couple of times a month to keep things lubricated. The air pump is fine.
Engine & Transmission: Runs and shifts as you would expect from a Mercedes that has been babied for decades
Brakes: No problems with brakes.

Summary: I’ve tried to list everything I can think of. It is why rare to find this model in this sort of condition. I am losing my garage space and wont park this car outside. Please feel free to give me a call and I will try and answer any questions you may have.
Price: £39, 950. 00 ONO.
