VERY RARE!!!
1977 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 6.9 Station Wagon, The Ultimate German Country Estate Car!One of only three produced and hand-made in Bremen/Germany by Coachbuilder Brinkmann.
There were never any plans by the Factory to build a station wagon version of the W116, 450 SEL 6.9. A German Industrialist travelled frequently with two large dogs and a family entourage to Italy. In order to accommodate his need for a fast luxury car with enough space, he commissioned Brinkmann Karosserie Bremen/Germany in 1977 to build him a 6.9 station wagons, or "Estate Car." A Mercedes-Benz collector in Pennsylvania purchased the car for his collection. The current owner in Arizona bought the car several years ago and since then stored it in his warehouse. We heard that only one other 450SEL 6.9 was converted to station wagon for actress Sophia Loren - complete with mesh dog-guard to prevent her hounds climbing into the passenger area.
The Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 is a high-performance version of the S-Class luxury saloon. It was built on the long-wheelbase version of the W-116 chassis introduced in 1972. The model was generally referred to in the company's literature as the "6.9", to separate it from the regular 450SEL. The 6.9 was the first Mercedes-Benz to be fitted with the hydro pneumatic self-leveling suspension system.
