Mercedes Benz 450 SEL by Revell from £49.99

The completely new generation of cars that had been developed under the works designation W 116 was launched in September 1972 as the new S-Class, which in future would include the top models from Mercedes-Benz. From both the technical and the stylistic points of view this top-of-the-range saloon represented a milestone in workmanship, handling characteristics and safety that hardly any other manufacturer could reach. First the Type 280 S came out, then the 280 SE and the 350 SE. These cars offered a level of performance, comfort, spaciousness, safety, reliability, perfection and quality that satisfied the highest requirements. These types were topped by the 450 SEL (= 4.5 litre engine) with its 225 bhp V8 engine that came out in March 1973 and impressed with its power and smooth running. This car that was over 5 m long could reach a top speed of 210 km/h with a kerb weight of 1.7 tonnes. The 450 SEL (S-Class (S) with injection engine (E) and long wheelbase (L)) offered a vehicle of world class standard and due to its size and roominess was often used as a company car. Together with the 280 S it is regarded as the most interesting version of this very successful range, of which a proud 473,000 had been built by 1980. In 1978 a customer could call a 450 SEL his own for 48,500 DM.
