1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Coupe W112 (Automatic / 4 Gears) RWD [1962-1967]

Summary

The 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Automatic Coupe (W112) remains one of the most prestigious vehicles in Daimler-Benz's history, serving as the spiritual ancestor of the CL models and the modern S-Class Coupe. This model stands out from the other W111 series through its extensive use of chrome, powerful injection motor and self-adjusting pneumatic suspension, holding the car horizontally in any road conditions. The 4-speed automatic transmission is designed to work in perfect harmony with the M189 aluminum engine, offering a non-stress driving experience that was rare for European cars of that period. Although the weight of the 1590 kg and the automatic box increase fuel consumption, the refinement of the cabin with noble wood, selected leather and the lack of a B pole (hardtop design) make this cup a fascinating tool. Today, this variant is considered an excellent investment for collectors, as it represents the peak of the engineering luxury of the 1960s.
