About this car

This is a 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE in long-wheelbase "fin tail" form, the fuel-injected six-cylinder flagship of the W112 range. The 2,996cc engine was the top choice for those wanting a fast, well-engineered Mercedes saloon of the period.

The dealer describes it as a rare example with a manual gearbox, which is unusual on a car more often seen with an automatic. It is finished in silver over dark blue.

The car is listed as arriving soon, so no mileage, price or history details have been published yet. The dealer notes that a private plate is not included.
