Model history

  • The Mercedes-Benz W116 was introduced in 1972 as the successor to the W108/W109 and set new standards in terms of luxury and safety. It was available in several engine variants, including six-cylinder and eight-cylinder engines with displacements ranging from 2.8 to 6.9 liters. The 450 SEL 6.9, equipped with a 6.9-liter V8, was the top model and impressed with its performance. The W116 was a success and laid the foundation for the later S-Class tradition of Mercedes-Benz.

    Offenbar besitzt das Fahrzeug eine Scheinwerfer-Reinigungsanlage. Auf den Bildern ist aber nur der Wischer auf der Beifahrerseite sichtbar. Fehlt der auf der Fahrerseite? Warum? Funktioniert die Anlage?

      Auf Bild 81 können Sie sehen, dass der Wischer lediglich ein wenig falsch eingestellt ist. Er ist vorhanden. Mit freundlichen Grüßen - Ihr Kickdown Team.
