Purchased new at Gregg Motors Mercedes-Benz Santa Barbara and stayed local with single family ownership until our recent acquisition from their estate. A garaged California gem in beautiful condition. The owner was an engineer who took care of this wonderful 300SE model with meticulous care. Hard to find these 126 sedans in this well preserved condition. Still wearing the original California issue license plates.
We have a clean Carfax as well as a clean AutoCheck by Experian Report. Both documents detail multiple entries including dates, services, emissions inspections and mileage markers from new.
Paint shows shows glossy and shines bright. The Arctic White paint is largely original. All original matching factory vin tags untouched on every body panel.
Perfect original dash-pad. The interior shows negligible wear and has been incredibly well preserved. The original grey leather is still soft to touch without damage, tears or rips. The rear seat shows virtually no usage. Carpet shows excellent throughout cabin. Zebrano wood console and dash trim, door trim all around look excellent still showing deep color and hi-gloss. Headliner is perfect. Rear area behind back seat shows zero wear or sun fade. Untouched original First Aid-Kit still in original bag in rear compartment. Multi-direction power seat adjust front seats all working. Visors show little use with vanity mirror flip/light switch that activates immediately.
All gauges working properly. Instrument cluster needles still show of bright orange color. Original Becker Grand Prix with Cassette player works great and has incredible factory sound system set-up.
Incredible drive quality on this sedan with the M103 hi-revving inline six cylinder motor. The meticulous care it received through the years is quite rewarding for the driver on this lighter SE model. Steady yet strong acceleration, good sensitive braking, excellent shift quality at correct ratios, tight steering and a suspension that feels very supple and comfortable on this highly engineered vehicle. An absolute pleasure to drive at highway speeds or cruising city streets.
Engine bay is extremely tidy. Impressively clean undercarriage as one would expect for a garaged vehicle kept in ideal California climate. Original MB exhaust heat shield shows no corrosion. Factory paint markings still visible as well as factory applied cosmoline. There are no leaks to note. Undercarriage pics available on request.
Upon our acquisition we had all (4) factory 15 inch alloy wheels reconditioned to like new They wear Bridgestone tires with good rubber and tread.
Upon acquisition we serviced the AC that has already been converted to 134 freon. Air blows cold on both fan speeds correctly.
Electric sunroof with multi-directional adjust.
Full handbooks with vehicle from new purchase all present. Original spare with hang tag, jack and complete MB tool roll. Multiple factory key fobs.
