Mercedes-Benz's redesigned 300 models of the early 1960s, known internally within the company as the W112, featured fresh, new slab-sided styling, as well as an all-aluminium, overhead-cam six-cylinder engine, advanced and comfortable pneumatic suspension, and automatic transmission as standard equipment; a manual gearbox could still be had optionally, but it was seldom-ordered. Selling at nearly twice the price of the lower-level 200 series, this was the most expensive "standard" Mercedes of the early 1960s, outside of the custom-built 600 models, and it was a regular sight at the world's most exclusive locales.

The 1966 Mercedes-Benz 300SE Opera Coupe featured here is finished in gorgeous Light Beige with an impeccably kept original black leather interior. This magnificent motorcar is an original California car that still retains its original black plates. Accompanying this investment-grade 300SE Coupe is its original owner's manual, logbook, tool roll, data card and more. Over $10,000 was spent during a recent complete servicing, ensuring that this car drives and performs like new. To come cross an example such as this and in stunning original condition is truly a great find. We are proud to offer this wonderful 300SE Opera Coupe to the most sophisticated collector, investor or enthusiast who appreciates and understands the potential of this great marque.
