Regularly & Meticulously Maintained, Always stored indoors,Continuing in the tradition of the groundbreaking 300 SEL 6.3, Mercedes-Benz sought to raise the bar with a low-production 6.9-liter version of its W116 450 SEL luxury flagship.

Built on a separate assembly line, these elite cars were identifiable only by their special burl-wood dashboards and succinct "6.9" badging on the trunk.
