Mercedes-Benz 350 SE — 1974

• Zustand technisch

  The car primarily needs a complete oil service, including brake fluid and coolant, as well as an inspection and check of all hoses and connections since the car has been standing for over 23 years, albeit in a dry and warm environment. It has a smooth feel in the engine and gearbox, operating smoothly. The gear selector with steering column shifter and mechanical gear indicator on the steering column, following the American pattern of that time, apparently wasn’t standard on the cars sold in Sweden but was an optional variant in other markets. Original baroque wheels and a set of original steel wheels with fine original hubcaps are also included.

• Zustand Interieur

  Soft leather upholstery in its original condition, which also means some wear, primarily on the driver’s seat. Nowadays, there are many skilled craftsmen and effective methods that can restore and treat leather upholstery to almost new condition if desired, although worn leather also has its charm. Fine original carpets, good door panels, and headliner around the sunroof. A small dry crack on the top of the instrument panel near the instrument cluster. Desirable Becker Mexico original radio, which was not functioning at the time of documentation, but the owner intends to troubleshoot its functionality.

• Zustand Exterieur

  The current owner conducted extensive bodywork renovations in the early nineties, and the car has been used as an enthusiast vehicle since then until 2001 when it was taken off the road. Today, there is a minor damage and blister on the hood, and the right rear door has paint peeling along the metal crease. The lower parts of the bumpers are not dirty; those are remnants of the rust protection. Otherwise, the exterior is presentable and neat. During the bodywork renovations, the metal around the sunroof was also replaced by a specialist in such metal operations.

• Zustand gesamt

  An older renovation that has held up well as a foundation, with some cosmetic needs and a review and service, is what’s required to turn this used representative Sonderklasse from the seventies into a gem.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
