Originally launched in both coupe and cabriolet form at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 220SE, the newest model to wear the three-pointed star set new standards of technical excellence and refinement. In March 1962, a visually similar model – the 300SE – was launched incorporating the M189 all-alloy six-cylinder engine boasting Bosch mechanical fuel injection and developing a very healthy 170bhp at 5400rpm. The chassis came with an effective new air suspension system along with power- assisted disc brakes on all four wheels, plus a limited slip differential and additional exterior chrome. These changes brought into effect the W112 designation to set them apart from the considerably cheaper 220/250 models. Four-speed automatic transmission was standard, although a four- speed manual could be ordered, and later cars could be had with a ZF five-speed unit. Inside, there was genuine wool carpet, leather upholstery and rich timber veneers to create a bespoke luxury express and justify the huge premium in price over the 220/250SE models. The 300SE was by far the rarest of the W111/W112 family, with less than 2,500 coupes being sold worldwide. This lovely left-hand drive example is classically finished in Silver Blue Metallic with a contrasting Dark Blue roof and Navy Blue leather. It appears to be in excellent condition and has covered 75,882 miles. 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300SE Coupé LOT 238 More Details Lot 238 Bid On Lot 238 Estimate: $125,000 - $150,000
