Odometer reading: 6,821
MOT: Exempt
*300SE Convertible
*US specification
*Good condition
The Mercedes-Benz 300SE Convertible is the ultimate symbol of luxury and sophistication in the classic car world. First introduced in 1962, the 300SE Convertible had a design that was as elegant as it is timeless, and today they are incredibly sought after with only 708 ever produced. Standard features on the 300SE included the likes of air conditioning, electric windows and a radio, which at the time were not common features on a car. It was also powered by a 2,996cc straight-six engine that initially developed 164bhp, which was later tuned up to 170bhp after 1964. Together with a four-speed manual or automatic gearbox, , the 300SE offered a most relaxed experience with its hydro-pneumatic suspension.
This 1967 example is US specification car that is now a fully registered UK vehicle. It's presented in excellent condition throughout, and it's black paintwork and red leather interior both present particularly well. There is little history with the car, however it is running and driving without fault. This is an excellent example of a timeless and elegant classic Mercedes.
