Original service booklet
This Mercedes 450 SEL in Cypress Green Metallic was newly purchased in April 1979 from the Mercedes-Benz branch in Würzburg by a German-American entrepreneur.
Mr. Joa of Curt G. Joa Inc. spent most of the year at his company's headquarters in Wisconsin and drove the W116 only during his approximately quarterly stays in Germany. The rest of the time, the car was stored in a hall in Volkach.
The original service booklet was maintained without gaps and documents the low original mileage to this day.
The first owner kept his 450 SEL well into the 2000s. At one point, he had it re-registered from Volkach to Andernach. The car was not sold until after his death.
In 2010, the owners who remain the last to date acquired the S-Class and continued its care in exemplary fashion.
The Mercedes was cavity-sealed at the factory and was conserved a second time several years ago.
In addition to its fantastic state of care and preservation, our W116 impresses with its extensive special equipment. This includes, among other things:
41/0 Electric steel sunroof
43/0 Rear headrests
44/0 Cruise control
45/1 Tachometer
47/0 ABS
48/0 Self-levelling suspension
58/1 Automatic climate control
59/0 Heat-insulating glass all around, heated rear window
60/0 Headlamp wiper system
256 Rear axle with limited-slip differential
