The Mercedes 300 SE Coupe was presented as the successor to the 300 Adenauer series in February 1962 and was based on the 220 SE Coupe, which was presented in 1961 and was based on the W111 platform, the so-called tail fin. Technically, they correspond to the sedans and remained in the range until December 1967, i.e. 2 years longer than their four-door sister models (but 4 years shorter than the 111 coupés and convertibles). In contrast to the sedans, they have no fashionable tail fins, a lower roof line, and thus appear overall more elegant and timeless, which gave them a classic status much earlier. This timelessness also made it possible for them to be built practically unchanged in parallel to the successors to the 112 sedans, the S-Class of the W 108 / W 109 series. Nevertheless, only a total of 2,419 coupes (W 112,021) were built because the purchase price was exorbitantly expensive. Mercedes donated all of the technologies available at the time to the 300 SE Coupe, including a light metal engine with manifold injection, 4-speed automatic transmission, air suspension with level control, all-round disc brakes and pneumatic brake booster, self-locking differential, power steering, brake hold-down on the rear axle and much more. Visually, an even higher quality interior was installed, chrome jewelry on the wheel arches and a continuous chrome strip on the side flanks. The W 112 is powered by the Mercedes-Benz M 189, a very complex in-line six-cylinder engine with a displacement of three liters. Due to its light metal alloy (head and block), the engine weighs around 40 kg less than its gray cast iron predecessors, which were used in the 300 SL ("Gullwing" and Roadster) and the 300 (W 189, "Adenauer Limousine") This reduction in the front axle load resulted in improved driving behavior (less understeer) .The car has a sporty, light-footed driving behavior, in contrast to the later top-heavy 3.5 with the heavy gray cast iron V8 engines.
Today the Mercedes 300 SE is the avant-garde of the 111/112 coupes, it is very rare and, for connoisseurs, the coronation of this timeless and elegant motor vehicle. The vehicle we offer was first delivered to France, we imported the car in 2015 and also started the cosmetic and technical restoration, which has just been completed. The car has actually run 55,500 km and is completely preserved in the original. The vehicle was completely documented and the exterior of the body was freed from the first paint. It showed that it was in excellent condition, no repairs were carried out, the underbody was ice-blasted and waxed and the body was repainted in the original color in 180 silver-gray metallic. The entire technology was assessed and, where necessary, overhauled by the respected specialist AI Motors in Stutensee, emphasis was placed on maintaining the very original appearance and not restoring it away. A "cooling master" air conditioning system was retrofitted. The original leather interior was cleaned and re-tinted, the original carpet was shampooed, the wood stripped and repainted. Even the smallest detail was taken into account, and during assembly, emphasis was placed on absolute originality, right down to the correct clamp in the engine compartment, the original books, the completely original tools, the authentic battery, the data card and also the original key pouch. The Mercedes 300 SE offered here is likely to be the best-preserved car of its type in the world. The accident-free vehicle in top condition was given a fresh TÜV and H license plate. You will find the exact equipment below. I will be happy to answer any further questions. The vehicle is sold with a 12 month warranty.
