Seller's comments about 1971' Mercedes-Benz 300 Sel
- Well-maintained sedan with rare V8 6. 3-liter engine - Electric sunroof and air conditioning - Central locking - In current ownership for 24 years - Valuation report from 2024, Grade: 2- - German registration with H license plate for historical vehicles Vehicle history: This beautiful Mercedes-Benz saloon had the V8 engine and automatic transmission of the Mercedes-Benz 600 and, with 250 hp (184 kW) at 4000 rpm, achieved the performance potential of top-class sports cars of its time. Its top speed was 220 km/ h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/ h was 6. 5 seconds (factory specification). The maximum torque was 500 Nm at 2800 rpm. From the outside, the 6. 3 could only be recognized by the wider 195-14 or 205-14 tires and the H1 halogen twin headlights. This meant that the fog lights in the light unit were omitted. Instead, separate round fog lights were fitted next to the radiator grille. The price of the new top-of-the-range W-109 model was initially DM 39, 160 and was DM 47, 397 at the end of the model series in January 1972, which corresponds to 87, 000 or 90, 100 euros in today's purchasing power and adjusted for inflation.
