The Ultimate Guide to the Mercedes 300SE W112The innovative
Mercedes 300SE W112 was the most technically advanced sedan at its launch in
1961. A year later, the two-door model also followed. Yet, despite its innovations, they disappointed their makers in terms of sales success. On the other hand, the
300SE was a clever move, as every
190D owner saw a bit of that car in their own. However, because of this similarity, the targeted customer base was less than impressed. Today, these superb cars are highly regarded and fetch
premium prices, especially when in good condition.
