Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 (W116)
1976
mileage: 258.001 km
extensively restored with documentation available
sought after color combination
The Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 was more than just a sedan at its introduction - it was the brand's technological masterpiece and uncrowned flagship. With its mighty 6.9-liter V8 engine (M100), it was the fastest production sedan in the world at the time, offering an impressive blend of supreme performance and luxurious driving comfort. It was the car of choice for statesmen, industrial magnates, and Hollywood stars who demanded the highest standards of performance, safety, and understatement.
This example from 1976 is presented in an elegant, solid blue paint finish and has been extensively restored and completely repainted. The bodywork, including the underbody, has been professionally repaired and recoated in various places. The doors have been renewed and fitted expertly, ensuring perfect panel gaps, and the doors, bonnet, and boot lid close flawlessly. The body is completely rust-free and corresponds to the original series standard.
The paintwork was completely renewed about twelve years ago. This involved a full build-up and professional application. The surface is smooth, has a beautiful deep shine, and is free of damage or scratches. All large add-on parts are complete and fit perfectly, and the bumpers are new or in as-new condition.
Under the bonnet is the vehicle's original engine. Over the years, all necessary maintenance and repair work has been carried out, keeping it in flawless mechanical condition. The ignition system and almost all rubber parts and hoses have been replaced. Compression and oil pressure values confirm the very good overall mechanical condition. The engine runs perfectly across all temperature, speed, and load ranges. Additionally, the alternator has been overhauled, the water pump replaced, and a new, complete stainless steel exhaust system has been installed.
The legendary hydropneumatic suspension has also been fully overhauled. All shock absorbers, all accumulators, and both ride-height regulators have been repaired to restore the unique driving sensation that makes the car glide over the road. The braking system has also been completely overhauled, with a renewed master cylinder, reconditioned brake calipers, and replaced lines and hoses. The entire vehicle's electrical system, including wiring harnesses, has been revised and is in like-new condition.
A full documentation of the maintenance and restoration work is available.

Der Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 war bei seiner Einführung mehr als nur eine Limousine - er war das technologische Meisterwerk und das ungekrönte Flaggschiff der Marke. Mit seinem gewaltigen 6.9-Liter-V8-Motor (M100) war er zur damaligen Zeit die schnellste Serienlimousine der Welt und bot eine beeindruckende Mischung aus souveräner Leistung und luxuriösem Fahrkomfort. Er war das Auto von Staatsmännern, Industriemagnaten und Hollywood-Stars, die höchste Ansprüche an Leistung, Sicherheit und Understatement stellten.
