⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The Mercedes' grace, poise and power have never faded; its talent reflects its status as the best saloon car of its era.

The S-Class has long been held in high esteem as the halo model of Mercedes Benz's prestige flagship saloon. A legacy that stands over 70 years, the W116 models were the first to be officially named the S-Class. When released in 1972, the S-Class featured design cues, engines and mechanical features that were to influence the whole Mercedes range throughout the 1970s, incorporating advanced safety, comfort and ergonomic features that helped the S-Class win the prestigious 1974 European Car of the Year award. Offered with 5 different engines, towards the top of the pecking order was the 450 SE with the fuel-injected 4.5 litre V8 M117 engine. Furnished with a plush velour interior, the 450 SE also became noted for its exceptional road holding. The fact that the 450 SE impressed reviews with its performance, braking, handling and build quality often placed the car as the world's best saloon car of its era.

This well-kept example is finished in "Astral Silver Metallic" with a blue cloth interior. It has been in the family for over 40 years and has recently seen a check over and work by a Mercedes main dealer with around £2,600 spent recently. It has an MOT to February 2026 and comes with two keys.
