A completely newly developed vehicle generation of the luxury class was presented to the public in September 1972. The first officially named "Mercedes-Benz S-Class" with the internal designation W 116 replaced the 108/109 series. In May 1975, the new top model of the series, the Type 450 SEL 6.9, was presented as the legitimate successor to the 300 SEL 6.3. The powerful 6.9-liter V8 engine achieved a then unimaginable output of 286 hp and a maximum torque of 549 Nm. In view of these performance figures, every sports car of the time was left behind and was a feared opponent on the German autobahn.

As a prestigious luxury vehicle, this 450 SEL 6.9 certainly caused quite a stir in the late 1970s and into the 1980s - also because of the great color scheme in gray blue metallic and light interior in finest velour quality. With a sensational mileage of just over 93,000 km, the vehicle presents itself from its very best side and testifies to rare use and best maintenance. The interior also bears witness to the very best of care. The rare velour interior is undamaged and invites you to stay. A rare beautiful 6.9er that you should not miss.
