Estimated : € 60.000 - 80.000
Sold for € 39.100
Mercedes-Benz introduced the W112-generation 300 SE coupé and cabriolet at the March 1962 Geneva Motor Show. Just thirteen per week were built, largely by hand. In all, just 3,127, including 630 in 1963, were produced through 1967. Power is supplied by a 160 bhp, 3.0-litre, six-cylinder engine, and standard equipment includes air suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes.
Originally delivered to the United States, this example was sent from there to Finland in 1992, at which time it was repainted. According to the previous owner, he drove the car sparingly from 2005 to 2014, adding less than 5,000 km. Finished in a stunning Dark Green Metallic over a cognac interior, this lovely example is fitted with both a factory sunroof and a rare floor-shifted four-speed manual transmission.
The consignor has invested €25.000 in work since purchasing the car in 2015. Front and rear axles were completely dismantled and replaced with original parts. The clutch was replaced and the brakes renewed along with the air suspension, including all bellows and valves. All work was done by a renowned Mercedes-Benz specialist recommended by Mercedes-Benz clubs in Germany, and invoices for this work are on file.
This is a very well-kept, technically excellent vehicle with rare equipment in an attractive colour combination.
