This W111-generation Mercedes-Benz 300SE is a rare classic coupe, presented in very usable condition and finished in an appealing colour scheme. It is powered by a 3.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-six, producing around 125kW and sending it to the rear wheels via a four-speed column-change automatic transmission. Described as being an impressive ‘survivor’ example, it was previously part of the Gosford Classic Car Museum. The car has been cherished by the seller for three years. The odometer displays 60,770 miles. This 300SE is finished in Maroon, with a matching roof section, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, with a white steering wheel, and a burr wood dash and windscreen surround. Factory equipment includes manually operated windows, a selection of VDO instrument dials, VDO analogue clock, and a period-correct Becker Grand Prix radio. The owner’s manual will be included, along with invoices from current ownership. The car’s number plate is not included in the sale. The Maroon paintwork is noted by the seller as being in fair condition, showing some small chips and marks, including blemishes on the nearside edge of the boot lid and aperture, scuffs and bubbling on the nearside front wing, chipping on the rear of the driver’s door and on the passenger door. Inside, the cabin presents in good order, with some creasing on the seats, but no significant wear. There are some small stains on the rear bench seat within the perforated seat finish, and some discolouration on the leather steering wheel boss. Elsewhere there is some light patina of age, but still looks very smart. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults. The latest service was carried out at 60,000 miles by Northern Prestige, which the seller notes included a significant amount of work, to bring the car into good working order. Prior to this, the car was serviced in 2021 by BMC in Geelong. This Mercedes-Benz (W111) 300SE Coupe is a desirable classic cruiser, offered in presentable condition given its age and featuring a well-preserved interior. While it may benefit from some cosmetic refurbishment in due course, it is ready to be enjoyed on weekend drives and would make a stylish addition to any classic collection.
