For sale is my very rare 1979 Mercedes 450 SEL 6. 9

3 speed automatic.

88k miles (very low for one of these).

One of only approximately 50 of this year left in the UK and only 19 of this year are on the road!

Build number 5889 out of 7500 and a genuine European right hand drive example.

THIS CAR IS FOR FULL RESTORATION AND HAS NO MOT.

It starts. runs and drives (the brakes are seized on a bit). The engine will require a FULL service including. plugs. leads. dizzy cap etc. The gear box selects the gears well and all work. The hydro suspension is locked in the ‘high' position and will require refurbishing along with 5 new spheres. The bodywork will require a full strip down and there is plenty to do as it has many rust blisters and the roof will require a lot of attention. It will require full inner and outer sills on both sides but the floor pan looks good. The rear seats will require recovering as there has been some water ingress in the past from the roof. Holes were allowed to develop by the sunroof over a period of 8 years when it was laid up. These holes have been crudely sealed for protection and the interior is dry. There is no service history as I believe it came through a deceased estate.

I put the car through a strict MOT to show the failures and the sheet is available for any potential purchaser to look through.

On the positive side… the engine alone is worth between 6k – 8k as they are so sought after. This is a fully working low miles engine and very hard to find.  

If this car was restored with a nut and bolt restoration they are priced between 35k and 50k. They are also fast appreciating.

I am selling this car because I own an identical 6. 9 which is a regular driver.

Payment is either cash or direct bank transfer. I will not export this car and it will need to be taken away on a trailer.

Viewings are welcome and the car is based in South Chard in Somerset.

I work full time so viewings will have to work around my commitments. I will honour any viewings that are arranged. That way If you are travelling some distance the car will still be there when you arrive.

I am not in a hurry to sell so please no silly offers. £6450 ovno
