1976 MERCEDES BENZ 400SEL, What Car and driver proclaimed to be \"the greatest Mercedes-Benz ever built\", and Classic & Sports Car magazine called one of the \"world's greatest saloons\", here is the Mercedes-Benz 450SEL \"6.9\". The 6.9 was a high-performance version f the S-Class luxury saloon, It was built on its own assembly line by Daimler-Benz in Stuttgart, Germany and based on the long-wheelbase version of the W116 chassis introduced in 1972. The 6.9 was first shown to the motoring press at the Geneva Auto Show in 1974, and produced between 1975 and 1981 in extremely limited numbers. It was billed as the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz car line, and the successor to Mercedes-Benz's original high-performance sedan, the 300SEL 6.3. The 6.9 was the first Mercedes-Benz to be fitted with the company's new hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension system, The suspension system gave the 4200 pound (1900 kg) car the benefits of a both a smooth ride and handling that allowed it, in the words of automotive journalist David E. Davis, to be \"tossed about like a Mini.\" The car also featured a model W3B 050 three-speed automatic transmission unique to the 6.9 and a standard ZF limited slip differential both for enhanced roadholding performance on dry pavement and enhanced traction in inclement weather. This particular car is a 2 owner vehicle with the European version specifications. The previous owner had the car since 1983 and it was meticulously serviced throughout its lifetime. This car features a beautiful blue velour interior, restored suspension and new battery and tires. Own a piece of German automotive history with the rare \"6.9\".
