  • Notes:
    Mercedes-Benz's redesigned 300 models of the early 1960s, known internally within the company as the W112, featured new styling derived from the pen of Paul Bracq, along with an all-aluminium, overhead-cam fuel-injected 6-cylinder, 3-litre engine, new and improved pneumatic suspension and four-speed automatic gearbox as standard equipment. Selling at a premium price over the lower-level 200 series, this was the most expensive “standard” Mercedes of the early 1960s (outside of the custom-built 600 models). Luxuriously appointed with plenty of creature comforts, the 300 SEC was one of the great cars of the period and a true classic from the Mercedes-Benz marque. The example on offer here was delivered new to Australia in 1966. This automatic transmission 300SEC is in the original Papyrus white colour scheme with luxurious cognac leather interior. It is fitted with a ‘Behr’ factory type air-conditioning unit and its Becker ‘Mexico’ radio-cassette unit sits in the beautiful varnished wood dashboard. The car is accompanied by a significant file of paperwork attesting to its maintenance, including work on the sophisticated air suspension which provides such a comfortable and relaxing ride. Well cared for and well presented, this Mercedes-Benz should appeal to all admirers of the three-pointed Star along with anyone who is drawn to design icons, objects of style and outstanding motor cars. This vehicle will be sold unregistered.
