Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W116 series, 1972-1980)

The W116 was the first Mercedes-Benz model to be officially called the S-Class, the start of a long line which continues to the present day. It offered a choice of smooth six and eight-cylinder engines, culminating in the hugely powerful 450 SEL 6.9, as well as a more economical turbodiesel for the North American market.
Only available from the factory as a saloon - in standard and long-wheelbase versions - nearly half a million cars were built during its eight-year career.

This guide will help you learn about the differences between models, and what to look for when buying. What are the true running costs, and what issues - with the mechanicals, body or interior - should you be wary of? Is a restoration worth considering?
This handy guide will take you step-by-step through the process of finding and evaluating a good W116 and making a successful purchase. Essential data and information about clubs and specialists will help you look after and enjoy your W116.
