1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SE W116

In 1978 the W116 S-Class was the benchmark luxury car — the thing every other manufacturer was measuring themselves against. This 450SE spent its first 34 years with a single Melbourne owner and has covered 120,000 km, leaving it in genuinely original condition throughout: correct Grey Blue Metallic paint, blue leather interior, intact wood trim, and a Becker Mexico Cassette still in the dash. Original W116s of this quality are increasingly hard to find, and the 4.5 litre V8 gives it real presence on the road as well as on screen.
