"The nicest W116 I have seen in the past 25 years, bar none"
Dean Laumbach
This 1980 Mercedes Benz 300SD is presently housed in a facility with number of six figure exotic automobiles.
This "odd duck" or "unicorn" is getting more attention than the rotisserie restored 1971 280SL it is parked along side at our shop.
This particular w116 is finished in 681 Manila Beige and still wears its all original paint all around.
The interior is finished in Bamboo Leather and is in impeccable condition all around.

Mechanically this vehicle is like a brand new Rolex watch.

Second owner spend the better part of 3 years searching for the absolute best w116 he could possibly find.
