1972 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 W108 / W109

This W109-generation Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 is a highly desirable and timelessly stylish classic sedan, which benefits from a rebuilt and upgraded engine. Under the bonnet sits an enhanced naturally aspirated 7.1-litre V8, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. The odometer indicates 84,458 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1972 This W109-era 300 SEL 6.3 is finished in the appealing shade of Grey/Blue Metallic, over a Parchment leather-trimmed interior, featuring contrasting blue carpets and seat belts, wood veneer inlays, and chrome trim. It rides on a set of 14-inch factory reproduction ‘Baroque’ alloy wheels fitted with Hankook Kinergy Eco 2 tyres. Equipment includes twin front spotlights, a two-spoke steering wheel, electric windows, a sunroof, fold-down armrests, an analogue clock, air conditioning, and push-out front quarter light windows. The 6.3-litre V8 engine has been rebuilt and the capacity increased to 7.1 litres. This example has also been fitted with a retro-style modern ‘Europa’ stereo. The car comes with a spare wheel and a jack. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: small scratches under the lower sill, and the interior is reported to have been retrimmed. The seller notes that the sunroof needs adjusting, though it still works, but it does not close 100%. Service history to be confirmed by paperwork. This W109-generation Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 is a charismatic and sought-after classic sedan, which benefits from a rebuilt and upgraded 7.1-litre V8. Presented with an attractive colour scheme, handsome styling, and boasting robust build quality alongside a luxurious and spacious cabin, it would make a fine addition to any collection of classics, and a stylish and capable companion for weekend cruising and classic car show visits alike.
