This original 2-owner Mercedes-Benz 280SEL 4.5 W108 is in spectacular condition and has only 87916 original miles. This West Coast Mercedes-Benz was purchased by the current owner's father back in 1973 as a pre-owned top of the line Mercedes-Benz. Since then it has been lovingly and meticulously cared for by both her father and herself. With close to $20,000 in repairs, service, and restoration work being performed in the last 10 years to keep this one of a kind Mercedes-Benz in the best possible condition. No expense has been spared. A thorough, documented, service history is available with this Mercedes-Benz along with written records of ownership. This is one of those vintage vehicles that come with a true history and a loving past that a new owner would be proud to be a part of. Vehicle Condition- The overall condition is one of originality and show car quality inside and out. The rare and sought after Phantom Grey paint is original with paint meter readings that are within factory specifications to a new Mercedes. The paint has its original shine and luster and looks absolutely striking against the original chrome bumpers and grille. This amazing color combination is something you must see in person to experience the overall presence this precursor to the S-Class has to offer. Moving inside this 280SEL you are invited in to sit on the supportive and blemish-free seats in black. The carpets are free of any stains and are all original as well, with 2 sets of floor mats protecting the floor and keep dirt away. The dashboard, console and controls all work as designed with exception to the driver's window which we have diagnosed. The radio is an updated unit that works and the original power antenna provides crystal clear reception. The original wood dash trim shows a couple of small cracks but still has its original laminate and minimal sunspots. A rarity on any vehicle of this vintage. You are going to be impressed with this vehicle as a whole and the exceptional original condition.
