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 Citrus Green dealer edition finish from 1976. This is a used model, box showing traces of storage, with doors, hood and trunk that all open. A period S-Class flagship at an accessible diecast price point.

The W116 was the first Mercedes officially branded "S-Class," and this Citrus Green 450 SEL captures that generation's flagship stance in 1:18 diecast form, with panels that open for real inspection.

Norev's Diecast Approach to the W116

Zinc alloy diecast brings real heft to a car this size, and that weight matters on a flagship sedan whose presence was part of the appeal. Norev builds this 450 SEL with doors, hood and trunk that operate, letting a collector open the cabin to check seat detailing and dashboard layout, or lift the hood to see the engine bay rather than settle for a sealed shell. The trade-off against a one-piece casting is wider panel gaps and slightly looser tolerances around the hinges, a fair exchange for the display flexibility. The Citrus Green dealer edition finish sits on the metal with even coverage, and the chrome trim around the grille and window surrounds reads correctly against the era's brightwork-heavy styling. This example is a used model rather than a fresh factory piece, and the outer box shows traces of storage; the casting itself is unaffected by either.

The W116 as a Collecting Subject

Built from 1972 to 1980, the W116 replaced the W108 and set the template for every S-Class that followed: a longer wheelbase, more formal roofline, and engineering credentials that included the first standard-fit anti-lock brakes on a production Mercedes. The 450 SEL sat near the top of the range, powered by Mercedes' V8, and represented the brand's flagship statement before the later 6.9-liter variant arrived. A dealer edition color like Citrus Green speaks to the era's willingness to offer flagship buyers distinctive palette options beyond the standard catalog shades.

Placing It on a Shelf

At 1:18, the W116's long proportions and formal three-box shape anchor a shelf of 1970s executive sedans well, and its opening panels make it a natural centerpiece rather than a background piece. Pair it with other Mercedes generations to trace the S-Class lineage, or set it alongside period rivals to show how flagship luxury sedans differed across brands during the decade. Given its used condition, a light dusting and a stable, dust-free display spot will keep the finish looking its best for years ahead.
