Used 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 1979 BENZ SE AUTO

The Mercedes-Benz w116 range was produced between 1972 and 1980. It hails from a time when Mercedes built cars up to a standard, not down to a price, and when everything they did was almost obsessively over-engineered. The first models to officially carry S-Class nomenclature. Finished in Milan Brown with MB tex upholstery (both special order at the time), this 450 SE is as 1970s as an avocado bathroom suite. The rich Milan Brown paintwork is superb and has deep, coppery sheen to it that adds real depth of lustre to the finish. The MB-Tex upholstery is the perfect 1970's tonal counterpoint to the Milan Brown exterior. The upholstery is unmarked and the seats - front and back- are comfortable and supportive. The door cards and roof lining are virtually as-new, as are the original carpets and mats. All switches, knobs, levers, and bits of detail look unused, including the netting magazine pockets (airline style) behind the front seats, two keys and a lovely sounding Becker europa
