Hi Stefan, you were 100% right. Mercedes classic tell me that based on the VIN the car was delivered in August 1964 with a 189987 engine (not a 3.5).
Cheers,

Clem

That person lies! The 3,5 liter was presented in August of 1969 (as 300SEL 3,5 W109 and 280SE 3,5 Coupé/Cabriolet W111) and the w112 300SE was only produced until December of 1967.

Thanks Stefan. That is what I thought too but someone is offering one for sale and says that only 100 of these were built. I have asked for a VIN number and if it arrives I will check it with Mercedes and let you know what comes up.
Grussen,

Clem

There has never been a 300 SE 3,5 W112! It is probably a W112 300SE with a 3,5 liter engine (M116). An original 300SE W112 is more worth than a 300SE with 3,5 liter engine.

best regards

Stefan
