Description
Developed in the mid-1960s, Mercedes-Benz introduced the 300 SEL in 1968. It sported a design by Paul Bracq and was powered by a large V-8 engine borrowed from the Pullman limousine, making it known as the world's fastest four-door car. Production of the 300SEL would be brief, lasting only four years, ending in 1972. Just over 6.500 examples were built during its production life.
This particular example is finished in Light Ivory with a brown leather interior. It has been well maintained and has been completely repainted and fitted with a new interior with all wood refinished. It has a large double bar grille flanked by quad headlights. On either side of the vehicle there is a side decorative strip that runs the entire length of the car. It has a wheelbase size of 112,2 inches and rides on correct factory rims with blackwall tires. Power comes from a 6,3-liter V8 engine equipped with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection with 200 hp and mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It has a top speed of 125 miles per hour.
