About this car
This Front Royal 300SEL has air suspension. It was restored about ten years ago and then left unused; the leather fitted at that time is still in decent condition. A 300SEL that has been stored needs its air suspension brought back to life before anything else, so allow for new bellows, valves, and seals before the $6,000 price starts to look cheap.
What the photos show
- Only one photo is available for this listing — a front three-quarter of the white long-wheelbase sedan outside a glass-fronted building — so most of the car can't be judged from photos at all.
- The car sits noticeably low, particularly at the front — on an air-suspension 300SEL that is the headline check, because a settled car can mean anything from a long park to tired bellows and valves.
- Rust staining and bubbling show along the lower door and sill area in frame, and the white paint is dull — body money is visible in this photo, not just mechanical money.
- No interior, engine bay, trunk or underside photos are available — the leather the listing says was renewed ten years ago, the engine and the floors all stay unjudged until more photos or an in-person look.
Money: $6,000 is the cheapest way into a 300SEL, and the photo shows why — low ride height and sill rust are the two expensive W109 stories in one frame, so the price only works as a project bought with eyes open.
