Mercedes-Benz - 280 SE 4.5 - 1971

GENERAL: Unique “time capsule” Mercedes-Benz W108 280SE 4.5, powered by the potent 4.5-liter V8 and automatic transmission. This stylish sedan is equipped with power steering, power brakes and air conditioning/climate control, ensuring a comfortable driving experience, even by modern standards. This car comes from an older owner from San Francisco, where it has stood untouched in a garage for about the past 20 years. This makes it a particularly original and rare well-preserved example. BODYWORK & PAINT: The body is in exceptionally dry and rust-free condition, as can be seen in the photos. The car has never been welded, which is rare for this model nowadays. In the past the underside was professionally painted in the original color. The chrome work is in very nice condition and contributes to the car’s luxurious look. The last photos show how the car was found in California. TECHNICAL: The car runs, shifts and drives well. Under the hood everything is neat and tidy, matching the carefully preserved character of this car. Recently, among other things, new whitewall tires and brake hoses were installed. The engineering is solid and reliable, as one would expect from a classic Mercedes from this era. INTERIOR: The interior is fully original and in very nice condition. The car is equipped with electric and tinted windows and still has the original, well-functioning Becker radio. The finish and materials reflect the high quality Mercedes-Benz is known for. DOCUMENTS: All original manuals are present. In addition, the car is complete with the original tool kit. All import duties and VAT have already been paid, ensuring hassle-free registration within Europe. This Mercedes does not require a COC document (introduced in 1996) for registration within Europe given the age of the car. PICK-UP: The car can be viewed and possibly picked up in Damwald. Transport across Europe can be arranged by agreement. OTHER INFORMATION: It is an unrestored classic of about 55 years old. Although the car is in an exceptionally original state, as with any classic there is always room for further optimization to personal taste. In short: a particularly original, rust-free and charming Mercedes W108 with V8, directly from California and ready for the next enthusiast.
