Barratts Classic Car Hire

Hire this beautiful classic 1971 300 SEL 6.3 Litre Mercedes. Ex celebrity ownership! The Classic Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3 is based mainly for hire work in Kent/London and surrounding areas, although it is available for hire throughout the U.K.

The timeless elegant quality of this classic Mercedes will provide a memorable wedding car.

This rare beautiful elegant car was originally owned by 1960's 1970's 'mellow yellow' pop icon Donovan and has had an interesting celebrity history. This model is one of the most expensive saloon cars Mercedes have made, and are still considered by many as their flagship saloon, with a classic shape.

The 6.3 was a popular choice in its day by many celebrities and wealthy people, for its very smooth ride due to the powerful engine, self levelling air suspension and large amount of leg room in the rear.

Longer rear doors mean that this car was built to be chauffeured in rather than drive yourself and the extra leg room makes it ideal for wedding and bridal use. The large sunroof also gives you the feeling of openness when fully retracted, the style and build quality being reminiscent of a past time. The car comes dressed in ribbons and a flower spray on the rear parcel shelf.

This rare 6.3 is classed as one of the best rare right hand drive models in existence.
