No 6.9, so just a poor poverty spec 450 SEL  |

Nothing on plate sites but VNL xxxT series issued Newcastle Sept-Oct 78. |

I'm curious who list it as 6.9 Maybe, someone believe, that all 450SEL were 6.9? |

No, there were "normal" 450 SE and SEL, too: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W_116 |

I know I didn't list it like that. Unless my fingers slipped. |

For some reasons we don't consider this one /vehicle_2401-Mercedes-Benz-450-SEL-W116-1976.html as 6.9 (although it can be visible on car page) But whis perverted one /vehicle_62548-Mercedes-Benz-450-SEL-69-Stretched-Limousine-W116-1978.html got full name listing, despite lack of even rear view. -- Last edit: 2011-05-14 19:16:41 |

It's only identifyable by the badge. At least all W116-Benzes are only identifyable by them. Except, if SE or SEL. This is the differend wheelbase. I'm not really sure, if the car in "Ronin" is a real 6.9. The badge seems not to be in the original position. |

Maybe it handle good enough for hydropneumatic suspension? ) But I'm even less sure, that ugly limo in "Knight Rider" is 6.9 |

@tali - what's your source for the plate data? Have you a Secret Squirrel source? |
