Description

Introduced by Mercedes-Benz in 1961, the top-of-the-range W112 was sold to the public as the 300SE, the ultimate Mercedes in the early 1960s. While sharing the same platform and timelessly elegant, Paul Bracq designed bodywork as the W111 220, the W112 coupe and convertibles were fitted with the smooth, powerful, fuel-injected M189 Type big-block straight -six power unit. They were also equipped with advanced self-levelling pneumatic rear suspension, power steering and automatic transmission along with a more luxurious interior. Externally, the W112 could be distinguished by significantly more brightwork as well as larger 14-inch wheels.

Automatic transmission was standard with a much smaller number of cars were supplied with the manual gearbox. Costing nearly twice as much as a 220SE, more than a Rolls-Royce at the time, a 300SE was always going to be an exclusive purchase. Indeed, just 3127 were made before the long-established body style left the catalogue. Relative rarity and enduring good looks mean therefore that these forever classic Mercedes models have become more sought after.

Painted in a very attractive dark blue, this 300SE Coupe still delivers an impressive turn of speed with the super smooth fuel-injected six giving ample power driven through the all synchromesh 4-speed ‘box.

With nicely patinated yet very comfortable black leather and lots of wood within, this is a classic motor car for every occasion. A file of invoices accompanies the car from time it spent previously in New Zealand and Ireland.
