About the Mercedes 350 SEL W116 Hansa Blue Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 350 SEL W116 in Hansa Blue reproduces the extended-wheelbase saloon from the first generation officially called S-Class. Norev's diecast catalogue covers German classics with genuine consistency, and this 1979 example shows that strength clearly.

The W116, produced from 1972 to 1980, was the first Mercedes range to carry the S-Class name officially, and the SEL badge marked the longer-wheelbase, more prestigious variant.

Norev's Diecast Approach to a Formal Saloon

Norev has built a genuinely deep catalogue of French and German classics, and the W116 sits comfortably within that specialism as a car whose upright, formal proportions reward exactly the kind of accurate panel work Norev's diecast delivers. Hansa Blue was a period-correct Mercedes shade rather than a modern reinterpretation, and it shows real depth under direct light rather than a flat modern metallic. The extended SEL wheelbase adds visible length behind the rear doors compared to a standard SE, a distinction the model reproduces faithfully rather than treating the two variants as interchangeable. Opening doors and bonnet, typical of Norev's diecast range, let a buyer see the correctly upright dashboard architecture inside.

A Foundation Piece for S-Class Collecting

The W116 set the template every S-Class since has followed, so it works as a genuine starting point for anyone building a Mercedes flagship saloon chronology rather than jumping in with a later generation. Its long-wheelbase status also gives it more presence on a shelf than a shorter contemporary saloon, filling real display space convincingly.
