Original tool roll, warning triangle, Bilstein jack and factory
first-aid kit� MotoeXotica Classic Cars has sold many
Mercedes-Benzes but few as nice as this one. We are very excited to
present this 1971 300SEL 3.5 sedan. One of Mercedes' flagship
models, it was only one of 3,225 models made in 1971. Dressed in
Horizon Blue paint (DB-304), the exterior is in very good
condition, with only minor blemishes visible upon close inspection.
The windows are all in fine shape, with no cracking or haze
evident. The car's lights are in fine condition, intact and clear.
The car rides on factory alloy rims surrounded by 205/70R14 tires,
Bridgestone Potenza RE86s in front and Michelin MXVs in back. The
car's body panels are straight and the bumpers shine brightly. In
the well-kept trunk are a first-aid kit, a factory tool roll, a
warning triangle and a Bilstein jack, plus a full-sized spare tire.
The engine bay is in decent condition while the battery appears
new. Driver assist features include air-conditioning, power
steering, power brakes and power windows and pneumatic power locks.
It is fitted with the powerful and highly desirable 3.5-liter V-8
engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and is
remarkably well preserved. Inside, the deep blue leather seats are
in fine order as is the matching carpet. The headliners, four-spoke
steering wheel, door panels, package shelf, mirrors, center console
and gear shifter are all in a similar state. Rounding out the
interior is a Becker Europa II AM/FM stereo. This example has a
sumptuous leather and burled walnut interior, which is reportedly
"some of the finest woodwork to ever be in a German car."
The�Mercedes-Benz W109�is�a luxury car produced from 1965 through
to 1972 in North America. The cars were successful in West Germany
and in export markets, including North America. The W109s carried
over many of the basic engineering principles from previous models,
but had many refinements to make them some of the most
well-equipped cars of the era. They were top-of-the-line,
luxuriously appointed and more advanced than the 280SE 3.5 sedan in
chassis design and with its longer wheelbase, a better ride. It
shared the air suspension from the 6.3 sedan along with some of its
other technological improvements. The more powerful 300SE and
300SEL models were classified as the W109 chassis, with front and
rear air suspension (rather than the coil spring-based W108 rear
suspension), and available burled walnut interior trim, automatic
transmission and power windows. Competition to this car in 1971
included Bentley's T, BMW's 2000 Sedan and Jaguar's XJ6 sedan. This
car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
Current mileage on the odometer shows 36,485 miles. It is sold as
is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT
