The Mercedes-Benz W116 was a series of flagship luxury sedans produced from September 1972 until 1980. The W116 was the first Mercedes-Benz model to be officially called S-Class, although earlier models had already unofficially been designated with the letter 'S' - for Sonderklasse or "special class."
The model range initially included two versions of the M110 engine (Straight-six with 2746 cc displacement)-the 280 S (using a Solex carburettor) and the 280 SE (using Bosch D-Jetronic injection), plus the 350 SE, powered by the M116 engine (V8 with 3499 cc displacement). After the 1973 Fuel Crisis, a long-wheelbase version of the 280 was added to the line-up.
KKH is a two-owner example has was originally registered by Aurther Jackson of Bridlington, a prominent green grocer in the town, on the 1st October 1974. He sold it to our vendor on the 20th January 1990, at this time it was on its original registration number of GAG 33N. Over the years it has been serviced every year locally but as it is a company car the paperwork was destroyed after six years. In 2008 he removed the registration number and it was issued with the current one.
