1978 MERCEDES-BENZ 450 SEL 6.9 - £44,500
Our example was supplied by Normand (Mayfair) Ltd of Park Lane, London - I suppose they were the 'go to' garage in period. All of the original services were carried by them for the first 6 years (the original service voucher booklet handily is still in the raft of paperwork in the huge history folder) there are 17 stamps in the booklet backed up with MoT's and invoices from well renowned service specialists like John Haynes (1990 - 2008) and our chum Steve Redfearn (2012 - 2018). The original mileage is just over 100.000 now and the last journey undertaken by our intredip owner was a trip to Stuttgart in the Autumn of 2018. He has just spent a small fortune sorting out the suspension (phew so that's OK now for a few years again) and she does drive quite swimmingly. We took her up to Hertfordshire for a run here and there and she really does feel like a car which has been properly looked after - so many of these 6.9 or even 6.3's are a real disappointment when left unattended for too long. Cosmetically she is sharp outside and in too - she, unusually retains her lovely velour interior, which is in magnificent condition and makes the interior much quieter than the alternative leather (much more comfortable too). Not many 6.9's in RHD either, and even less in such original and unmolested condition. We're smitten and think you will be too.
