A collectors dream!
Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1968, the 300SEL 6.3 was
originally conceived by Mercedes-Benz engineer Erich Waxenberger
two years earlier. Waxenberger’s concept was simple; take the M100
6.3 liter V8 engine and air-suspension from the 600 luxury saloon
and place it in the W109 4-door sedan design by Paul Bracq. Often
considered Mercedes-Benz’s first true sports sedan, the 300SEL 6.3
offered maximum comfort mixed with legendary performance that
challenged even the most powerful automobiles made in Detroit,
Michigan at the time. The air-suspension ensured maximum driving
comfort while leaving all four wheels firmly on the road while the
M100 V8 engine provided more than enough power to satisfy the most
performance minded customer. The 300SEL 6.3, while produced in
limited numbers until 1972, was capable of cruising at speeds in
excess of 120 miles per hour while seating five comfortably. This
capability quickly caught the attention of the German tuning firm
AMG who successfully campaigned several modified 6.3 sedans in the
early 1970s. The 300SEL 6.3 was the Mercedes-Benz sedan that
recaptured the imagination of the public. Today, it still finds its
way into some of the most incredible collections across the
globe.
The 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 Sedan featured here is finished
in stunning Horizon Blue with an impeccably kept blue leather
interior. This magnificent motorcar is among one of the finest
examples we have seen in many years and is believed to have been
driven just 43,871 miles from new. Accompanying this
investment-grade 300SEL 6.3 is its original books, previous
California registrations, data card and much more. It has been
beautifully restored by marquee specialists and would make the
perfect example to add any premier collection. If you have been
