1 / 8
Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 450 SEL W116 dressed in Citrus Green, a striking dealer-edition colour for Mercedes' flagship 1970s saloon. This used model has opening doors and bonnet, so the cabin trim and engine detail sit there to inspect. The outer box carries traces of storage; the model itself is unaffected. A distinctive splash of colour for a W116 collection built around the Mercedes S-Class story.

About the Mercedes 450 SEL W116 Citrus Green Dealer Edition Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 450 SEL W116 wears a bold Citrus Green dealer-edition finish rare among W116 saloons. Doors and bonnet open on this used example, revealing cabin and engine bay detail. The box shows traces of storage; the model itself is unaffected. A characterful addition to a Mercedes S-Class shelf.

Most W116 replicas turn up in black, silver or a sober metallic; this dealer-edition Citrus Green stands out precisely because it does not.

Norev's Diecast Approach and What Opens on This Model

Norev builds this 450 SEL as a diecast, and the zinc alloy body carries the weight a saloon this size ought to have in the hand, with panel lines scribed cleanly into the metal along the doors and bonnet. Because this example has opening parts, the doors swing to show a cabin trimmed with the period's flat, wide dashboard and column-shift detail, while the bonnet lifts on a V8 engine bay rendered with real texture rather than a flat casting. That access is the point of buying diecast over resin for a saloon like this: a sealed body would hide exactly the detail collectors want to compare against the real car. This is a used example, so expect the light handling marks any pre-owned diecast picks up, and the outer box shows traces of storage rather than shelf-fresh presentation. None of that touches the paintwork or the mechanism underneath, which is the part that matters for display.

The W116 as the First Mercedes S-Class

The W116, launched in the mid-1970s, was the car that formally established the S-Class name, and the 450 SEL was its long-wheelbase flagship, built to project Mercedes engineering authority at the top of the saloon market. A dealer-edition colour like Citrus Green tells its own story: period Mercedes dealers commissioned special-order and promotional finishes well outside the standard colour chart, and this replica preserves one of those rarer options rather than the expected black or anthracite most W116 buyers chose. For a collector tracing Mercedes' saloon lineage, that colour choice adds genuine variety rather than duplicating a shade already on the shelf.

Where This Citrus Green W116 Sits on a Shelf

At 1:18 the W116's long, flat bonnet and boxy glasshouse take up real cabinet depth, so it reads best given its own space rather than crowded against smaller hatchbacks. Paired with a later W126 S-Class it tells a clean generational story; set beside the Citrus Green against darker period Mercedes saloons, it becomes the piece that breaks up an otherwise monochrome run. Keep it away from direct sunlight, since bright colours fade faster than black or silver finishes, and dust the flat bonnet and boot lid occasionally, as horizontal surfaces at this scale collect it quickly. A genuinely distinctive colour on an important Mercedes model, honestly sold as a used piece.
