The W116 line-up replaced the S-Class in 1972. Much of the development had concentrated on secondary safety. In 1973, the 450 SEL long-wheelbase version of the 450 SE was introduced. Its wheelbase was stretched by four inches in an effort to provide additional legroom for those being chauffeured. Power was from a 4.5-liter V8 engine, internally designated M117, and offered 190 horsepower. When the Mercedes-Benz W116 450 SEL 6.9 was launched in 1974, it was the world's fastest ever four-door production car. The 6.9-liter engine was conservatively rated at 285 horsepower.
From February 1973 through June of 198, just under 60,000 examples were built.
This particular example is a 450 SEL sedan. It was acquired by the current caretaker's father and has remained on Long Island its entire life. Currently, it has under 118,900 miles on its odometer. Its exterior is grey over a beige interior and is equipped with an electric sliding roof.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2017
