This beautiful 300 SE was registered on May 22, 1964, and delivered new in in Asnières, France by Royal Elysées. This coupe in a black livery combined with a red leather upholstery. It has a "Becker Grand Prix" radio, adjustable air suspension and a 4-speed automatic transmission for an unparalleled sense of comfort and refinement.
The vehicle comes with its original documentation including technical manual, period catalog of suppliers and Mercedes-Benz assistance, service logbook with stamp and detailed comments as well as provisional registration certificate of May 1964. It has not only known two owners until 2017 and most likely has never left France, according to the current owner. In very good condition, it is still mostly in original paint and has retained its patinated upholstery. It is also in good working order and has received regular maintenance. Among the most recent works, let us point out the service in Germany of the injection pump and the air suspension by the Mercedes-Benz specialist Stefan Stähle in 2018, which cost more than 20,000 €, as well as the treatment of the leathers before and the repair of the original carpets by the Sellerie Lutz, which specializes in historic vehicles in Strasbourg, in 2020, and finally the refurbishment of the radiator fins at Vosges Radia Alsace in 2021.

The auction of this lot will take place on Friday 18 March 2022.
