1969 Mercedes W108 280S Manual with power steering

This beautiful 280S finished Light Ivory with Red Leather upholstery, has spent the majority of its life, cherished in a hot dry, salt free climate resulting in amazingly rust free condition It has been entrusted with a recognised Mercedes Specialist in recent years, for a full service included overhauled carburettors, renewed seals, gaskets and accelerator pumps, braking system overhaul including renewed brake servo and master cylinder, rebuilt front calipers with new seals and new rear calipers. All excellent matching tyres.

It presents beautifully today having been dry stored, only emerging on dry sunny days to attend classic shows, and is very original, it hasn’t even ever had a radio fitted. Coming from a dry climate, the car has never been welded and is totally solid throughout with no signs of any corrosion. The paintwork displays a lovely lustre and the rich leather upholstery has minimal wear, the chrome equally as impressive and certainly belies its age. Mechanically the car is very impressive, the six cylinder engine starts easily and runs just as smoothly, the manual gearbox is quiet and precise operating with minimal effort and with factory power steering it is an absolute joy to drive.

The original Mercedes dealer wallet still accompanies the car some 56 years later and includes a stamped service book, owners manual and a fabulous hand written log detailing maintenance carried out from the early seventies right up to 2016 A real head turner that wants for nothing and is just waiting to be enjoyed in new hands. A car that will grace any showground and be a welcomed addition to any collection .
