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.
W116
The Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 is the top-of-the-line version of the W116 model S-Class luxury saloon. It was built by Daimler-Benz in Stuttgart, and based on the LWB version of the W116 chassis. It featured the largest engine of any non-American production car post WW2. The 6.9 was first shown to the motoring press at the Geneva Motor Show in 1974, and produced between 1975 and 1981. The 6.9 is among the first vehicles ever produced with electronically controlled anti-lock brakes, first introduced by Mercedes and Bosch in 1978. Only 7.380 examples left the factory. This example was previously owned by the French pop star Claude François.

'Exclusive' is a much bandied-about word in the classic car world, but it is a most apt description of the Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5. Why? Because at $13,500 in 1970 its price was not only $3,500 more than that of the equivalent Mercedes-Benz sedan but also more than double that of a Cadillac Deville Coupé! Commonplace it was not.
The 3.5-litre version of the 280 SE typifies the resurgence of larger-engined Mercedes-Benz models that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the progressive easing of fiscal constraints, which had dissuaded customers from buying cars with large capacity engines, encouraged the German manufacturer to offer bigger, more potent power units. Thus the ultra-luxurious 280 SE Coupé/Cabriolet and 300 SEL saloon were the models chosen by Mercedes-Benz to launch its magnificent new 3.5-litre V8 engine in September 1969. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium-alloy cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art power unit produced 200bhp courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition.
The new V8 engine had particularly smooth-running characteristics and endowed the 280 SEs with performance superior to that of many out-and-out sports cars. Thus equipped, the Coupé/Cabriolet was good for 125mph (200km/h) with 60mph (97km/h) reachable in 9.5 seconds, a substantial improvement on the six-cylinder version's figures. As befitted top-of-the-range luxury models, the 280 SE 3.5 Coupé and Cabriolet came equipped with automatic transmission, power windows, and a stereo radio as standard.
Although the equivalent SEL saloon used the 'New Generation' bodyshell, the 280 SE Coupé and Cabriolet kept the elegant coachwork that had debuted back in 1960/1961 on the 220 SE. Nevertheless, there had been some refinements made: the radiator shell was lower and wider, with a correspondingly flatter front end to the bonnet, a characteristic that has led to enthusiasts referring to these face-lifted cars as 'flat radiator' models, while the bumpers were now fitted with rubber strips. Significantly, the 280 SE 3.5 was to be the final model featuring this long-established and much-admired body style. It was truly Mercedes-Benz's flagship model, representing status, luxury and reliability. Today these last-of-the-line classics are highly sought after by discerning Mercedes-Benz collectors.
Most elegantly finished in the original colour combination of beige grey (beigegrau) with bamboo (bambus) coloured leather interior, this beautifully presented Mercedes-Benz incorporates a host of desirable options including a Becker Grand Prix radio; central armrests front and rear; heated rear screen; additional spotlights; automatic transmission; electric sliding sunroof; and electric windows.
As per the Mercedes-Benz data card (copy on file), the car was sold new via the Munich based dealer (code 226) but its first custodian was a medical doctor based in Vienna. The doctor owned the Mercedes from new until 1989 when the car was sold to its second Austrian owner, who would keep it until 2012 (copies of Austrian registration documents are on file). In 2012 the car was sold via a German dealer to its first German owner, who in turn sold it to the current vendor, a very well-respected collector of fine cars based in Munich. Clearly this car has been looked after all its life, and recent expenditure includes the following:
• 2017: comprehensive service by Mercedes-Benz in Munich including a comprehensive brake service; repair of the power-assisted steering; cooling circuit overhaul; installing new engine mounts; check and repair of heating and ventilation system, etc for a total of €14,600
• 2018: overhaul of the automatic gearbox and further smaller repairs, again at Mercedes-Benz Munich €5,530
• 2018: installing safety belts at CarTech Knowledge, Ismaning near Munich €2,000
• 2020: dry ice blasting and repair of some rust on wheel arches including paint, again at CarTech €5,150
• 2021: service with some minor repairs at CarTech €3,050

It's pretty surprising to think that this design is already 10 years old. It's still looking relatively fresh, but this is mostly reserved for the Mopf that we can see here.
It's already nice to spot more upscale cars from Spain as Spanish visitors are rare to see; they're usually locals.
Surrounded by relics of a previous era, G521 and S303 are tied up in Echuca Yard by the local crew. The former goods shed (to the left) is now used to stable the evening Vlocity railcar from Melbourne. One could even argue that the rails themselves the train runs on is a relic of a past age, with regional railway lines in Victoria slowly succumbing to the economic reality of standard gauge. Who's to say that we won't be shooting this scene again in a few years with slightly narrower tracks?

A Mercedes-Benz S-Class V140 photographed in Beijing, Beijing municipality, China.
A poor old Benz abandonned in south-east Beijing for a long time.
Many of these are gone of Beijing, because they are now forbidden (too old = polluting) in a growing area.
The Mercedes-Benz W140 is a series of flagship vehicles that were manufactured by the German automotive company Mercedes-Benz from 1991 to 1998.
As with each generation of S-Class, a plethora of innovations in technology, climate protection, and creature comfort was introduced. Those innovations later trickled down to smaller C-Class and E-Class models over time.
The three body types are carried over from the W126: four-door sedan/saloon in two wheelbase lengths and one two-door coupé. The model types are assigned as W140 for standard wheelbase, V140 for long wheelbase, and C140 for coupé. In 1996, S-Class coupé was renamed as CL-Class and spun off from S-Class. A longer Pullman version with 4140 mm wheelbase was introduced in 1995 with two engine choices (S 500 Pullman and S 600 Pullman). The S 600 Pullman could be ordered with armour package.
Shown here is the second-lowest selling version of the W140 range, the short wheelbase 600 SE (later known as S600). This featured the shorter of the two saloon bodystyles, paired with the largest (standard engine), the new to Mercedes-Benz, M120 6.0 L V12. This engine featured 4 valves per cylinder and DOHC, producing a mighty 600 kW.
As an early series W140 car, it can be identified by the amber turn signals.
Though somewhat brutal looking, the W140 once again cemented Mercedes' claim to build the best car in the world.
The W140 range, would later go on to provide the basis for the reintroduction of the Maybach marque in 2002.
I was fortunate enough to attend the public launch of the W140 range in Sydney in 1991 - a spectacular affair, thousands of people, food, drink and entertainment.
Taken from 'Gunzel footbridge, West Footscray. Although locomotives got dirty and dusty back in the sixties the made an effort to keep them clean.
