130rapid ◊ 2010-12-29 12:11	The rear doors seem significantly longer than front. Could be 300 SEL [W109]. The combination of 2996 cc engine and 1969 model year (if this car was registered as new) is impossible because 3-litre M189 engine was cancelled in late 1967.
130rapid ◊ 2010-12-29 12:19	To be accurate, the 1969 MB 300 SEL [W109] had brand new 2,8-litre M130 engine.

I'm not sure, if not all W109 had the US-style double round front lamps. This one has the basic ones. And from this angle you cannot see clearly the length of the back doors to identify the SEL-wheelbase.

DynaMike ◊ 2010-12-30 12:26	With this new picture I'd say SEL indeed, and also there's a repeater, so 'Made for I'.
ingo ◊ 2010-12-30 13:19	It really has the pre-1968 wheels and hubcaps.
