This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 was originally delivered to the US before being imported to the UAE and shows 66k miles from new. Finished in Silver Gray Metallic (180) over Tan Leather, power is provided by a 6.3-liter M100 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes self-leveling air suspension, factory air conditioning, an electrically-heated rear window, power windows, a driver-side door mirror, an automatic antenna and a Becker Europa stereo. This car recently went through an extensive restoration which included a full respray and interior reupholstery. Documentation included with the car shows the engine and transmission are original to the chassis. This long-wheelbase sedan is now offered for sale by MKB Motoren Manufaktur on behalf of the current owner in Abu Dhabi, UAE with the factory jack and a clean UAE title in the current owner’s name.
14” steel wheels wear paint-matched hubcaps and come fitted with Sumitomo HTR tires measuring 205/70 on all four corners. Braking is handled by standard four-wheel power-assisted discs.
The cabin is trimmed in Tan Leather with matching tan carpets and floor mats while Burl Walnut wood trim lines the dashboard and extends along the pillars. Both front seats offer manual adjustability and offer three-point seat belts and folding center armrests. Interior equipment includes heating and air conditioning, power windows front and rear, a lockable glove compartment, a rear loudspeaker and the original Becker Europa stereo. The seller reports that the interior was recently reupholstered during the restoration.
This W109 is powered by a 6.3-liter M100 V8 engine which is factory rated for 247 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. A document provided by Mercedes-Benz of Abu Dhabi confirms that both the engine and transmission are original to the car. An extensive restoration performed by the same dealer was recently completed with all service documents included in the photo gallery below.
Underbody photos provided by the seller show a clean and rust-free chassis and the seller notes that the car will receive a full service from Mercedes-Benz of Abu Dhabi before being delivered to its new owner including an engine oil and oil filter change along with a complete inspection. This 1971 300SEL 6.3 is now offered for sale by MKB Motoren Manufaktur on behalf of the original owner in Abu Dhabi, UAE with a clean UAE title in the seller’s name.

A steal under 70 IMO. This color combination is perfect for this car compared to the oh-so-overused silver over black. GLWTA!

What a beautiful Benz, still tight as a bank vault. If I were in the market for another ride, this would be it! Good luck with the auction.

I'd rather have this car than a Red Pig, which would really only be usable on a track. And for what it would cost to duplicate a Red Pig, you could buy this one and a 500E and own TWO of the best cars MB ever made.
@SimonBelgium Send me a PM for more informations about shipping, Please
Any idea about shipping cost to say Long Beach, CA? (Full service, including customs clearance)
Stunning!
