Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3

Vehicle Description

This 300 SEL 6.3 was delivered to the US in 1968 and comes with comprehensive documentation (inter alia, the international registration, issued 21 October 1968). The vehicle has, according to the previous owner, been partially restored in the US. Painted in the original Mercedes colour 903, namely blue (just blue!).

The paint is good, chrome also. Technically the car makes a good impression, e.g. the entire air suspension has reportedly been done up. The interior is a dream with the original leather seats in dark blue and in very good condition. The wood is high-quality, as well as the carpets and the sky. Except for the missing sun roof the vehicle is richly equipped. The air conditioning is out of order.

German technical approval (TÜV to 07/2016) and historic plates enable an instant registration.

An absolute dream car in a really presentable condition!

The Mercedes-Benz W109 (300 SEL) had in contrast to the W108 models an air suspension and was produced from September 1965 until autumn 1972 and exclusively provided with the longer wheel base.

Top model of the series W109 was the 300 SEL 6.3 in March 1968, which has the V8 engine and automatic transmission of the Mercedes 600 and 184 kW (250 hp at 4,000 / min) with the performance potential of top-class sports cars. Its top speed is 220 km/h, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds (factory specification). From the outside the 6.3 was only recognisable by the wider tyres, the H1 halogen twin headlamps and additional high beams as well as inside by the rev counter instead of the clock between the two large round instruments.

The fact that this was a good base for motorsport successes, was demonstrated by Hans-Werner Aufrecht and his newly founded AMG company.
