DESCRIPTION

The Mercedes-Benz W112, marketed as the Mercedes-Benz 300SE, was built from 1962 to 1967. It was available as a coupé, convertible, and saloon. The cars were similar to the standard Mercedes-Benz W111 Fintail versions, but fitted with the fuel-injected M189 big-block six-cylinder engine, standard luxury features such as air suspension, power steering, automatic transmission, and a higher level of wood and leather trim. The 300SE's performance was the top of the Mercedes range, with the M189 six-cylinder engine producing 160 hp (170 after 1964) and giving a top speed of 180 km/h (190 after 1964, both figures 175 and 185 for automatic transmission respectively). The W112 turned out to be a very short-lived venture with the advent of the W100 limousine, however, the Coupé variant did continue on until production ceased in 1967.

Finished in a beautiful shade of white with a sumptuous tan leather interior, this 300SE has a wonderful presence on the road. It is important to note that although this 300SE Coupe has been imported from Florida, it was originally supplied as a German market car which apparently makes it more sought after than an export vehicle. The car was the subject of an older restoration during the early nineties including the bodywork, interior, and many mechanical aspects, and still presents well today with a little comforting patina in the interior . This classic sixties coupé has only had four previous owners and comes with a very comprehensive history file, The car is on a Florida title but has Dutch cleared paperwork, making it easy for the new owner to register it.
