The 1973 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 450 SEL 6.9 (W116) Limousine was one of the most advanced and powerful luxury sedans of its era, setting a new benchmark for performance and refinement.

Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
