The Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 was the ultra-expensive, high performance version of the W116 S-Class. With its incredible 6.8-litre - that's not a typo - V8 engine delivering 286bhp and 403 lb-ft of very visceral torque, this is a car that can provide a relaxed or raucous driving experience.
Let Iain show you what a boatload of money could buy in 1978 and what it is like to drive the Beast in [Milan] Brown.
