In the 1970s, anyone who wanted to make a statement and was also in a hurry could not overlook the powerful 450 SEL 6.9 luxury sedan. A vehicle engineered to the highest standards, a very powerful engine, high-quality equipment and the comfortable hydropneumatic suspension – it simply did not get any better.
We are offering you one such car. The Mercedes was presumably sold through the Mercedes dealer Lorinser and was driven in the Stuttgart area until the end of the 1980s – the stamped service booklet confirms this. The car then came north and was owned by the von Bismarck family. The current owner purchased the vehicle in the Hanover area in 1997. Initially, the 6.9 was stored, and from 2006 onward it was completely dismantled and the body restored (sandblasted, rusty sheet-metal parts replaced, cavities sealed) and painted in its current color. This work is documented with numerous photos. Even today, the car looks like a nearly new vehicle – the painter truly understood his craft.
Following this work, the engine was partially overhauled, the transmission rebuilt, the leather interior renewed and a stainless-steel exhaust system constructed for the vehicle.
In total, the owner invested approximately € 70,000,- in this work. The hydropneumatic suspension also received the necessary technical attention – it works flawlessly.
Thus, the technical components typical of this model have been overhauled, repaired or replaced.
The light-colored interior harmonizes beautifully with the dark paint („Azurite Blue metallic). In addition to the leather interior, the car also has an electric sunroof as optional equipment.
The alloy wheels are typical Lorinser wheels made by Remotec and have probably been part of the vehicle since the 1970s. As a result, the 225 tires are somewhat wider than the originals.
This Mercedes-Benz is a collectable car because....
- It was extensively restored;
- Its relevant technical components were well maintained;
- It looks and drives like a nearly new vehicle.
The car is here in Bad Essen and ready for viewing and a test drive.
