450 SEL 6.9, W116, 1972-1980

Product Description

Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9, W116, nautical blue metallic. Manufacturer: Minichamps. Scale 1:43.
A brand-new premium-class vehicle generation was presented to the public in September 1972. The first officially designated “Mercedes-Benz S-Class” – internal designation W116 – superceded the W108/109 series and was initially comprised of three models: the 280 S, 280 SE and 350 SE. Six months later the S-Class Saloon was also offered with the larger 4.5-liter V8 engine in parallel to the 450 SL and 450 SLC. At the same time the 450 SEL was introduced, its wheelbase lengthened by an extra 100 millimetres; as with its predecessor models, the additional space served to increase legroom in the rear. The long version was also available from November 1973 as a 350 SEL and from April 1974 as a 280 SEL.
