This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 3.5 belonged to the W109 series, Mercedes-Benz's top luxury model at the time. At the time, this model came with a 3.5-liter V8 engine with electronic fuel injection, mated to an automatic transmission. This engine configuration made the 300 SEL more powerful and smooth than its six-cylinder predecessors and was praised for its balance of performance and refinement. The longer wheelbase of the SEL version offered additional space and comfort in the rear, while the self-leveling air suspension system ensured comfortable handling in a variety of conditions.

The 1972 300 SEL 3.5 was considered a high point in the evolution of Mercedes-Benz luxury sedans. The car combined an understated and timeless design with a very complete interior, emphasizing finish, safety and driving comfort. At the time, this model received high praise for its solid build quality and innovations, such as improved braking systems and extensive insulation for a quieter ride. It made the 300 SEL a popular choice for business drivers and car enthusiasts looking for a high-quality but understated model.

With the introduction of the 3.5-liter V8, Mercedes-Benz took an important step in modernizing its top-class models. The 1972 300 SEL 3.5 represented the transition to more powerful engines and a refined driving experience that became the standard in subsequent years. This model thus formed a link in the tradition of luxury sedans with longevity and high reputation. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
