1970 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 3.5

A True Gentleman’s Express

Few motor cars capture the elegance and prestige of a bygone era quite like the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 3.5 (W109). Widely regarded as one of the final and finest hand-crafted luxury saloons before the arrival of the modern S-Class generation, the W109 represents understated sophistication at its absolute peak.

At its heart lies the legendary 3.5-litre fuel-injected V8 engine (M116), delivering effortless performance with the smoothness and refinement only Mercedes-Benz mastered in this period. Powerful yet serene, this is a car designed to cover vast distances in complete comfort and style. The example we are proud to offer is nothing short of exceptional.

Presented in elegant Anthracite Grey Metallic (172 G) over a beautifully retrimmed beige interior, this car has been restored to original specification with extraordinary attention to detail. The engine has been comprehensively rebuilt, while the interior has been newly upholstered to factory-correct standards, preserving the timeless ambience and luxury for which these cars are celebrated.

From the moment you settle behind the large ivory steering wheel and gaze across the classic wood dashboard, the 300 SEL 3.5 transports you to another era — a time of refined grand touring, quiet authority and effortless continental travel. This is not simply a classic Mercedes-Benz; it is an experience. Factory-equipped options include:

172 G – Anthracite Grey Metallic

249 – Automatic transmission

306 – Ventilation system with active carbon filtration

420 – Power steering

503 – Passenger-side exterior mirror

516 – Becker radio

531 – Automatic Hirschmann antenna

Elegant, understated and increasingly difficult to find in this condition, the W109 3.5 remains one of the most usable and desirable classic Mercedes-Benz saloons ever produced.

We would be delighted to answer any questions regarding this exceptional motor car and warmly invite you to experience it for yourself.
