1973 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series

I am pleased to offer this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SE equipped with a 4.5L Engine & Automatic Transmission. Remarkably original survivor car documented with records from the previous two owners; current owner purchased this car in January of 2012 and cared for the car well keeping it serviced and stored indoors clearly evident in the pictures the car has remained in a beautiful driver quality condition. Finished nicely (with a single repaint) in its original Burgandy color over the original Bamboo Tan Leather interior. Body is in beautiful condition w/ minimal minor scratches from storage (maybe a single minor ding on entire car!), the trim and the body itself are very straight and solid. Excellent chrome, bumpers, grille glass, and rubber moldings! The Majority of this cars life was spent in Florida with no known rust issues other than a small bubble at the rear of one of the rear wheel wells, there is no evidence of any former rust or body repair.
Interior is completely original and is a testament to how well MB Leather holds up, even with 128k miles and 40+ years of use. The perforated leather on the rear passenger seat does have some tears but the front seats and the rest of the leather is in nice shape for it's original condition. The varnish on the wood dash is in great shape, all of the wood veneer is holding up well with few cracks or de-lamination, the interior wooden window trim is there but is separating. All of the gauges, switches, indicators and courtesy lights are working properly. Heat and vent sliders are working including the colored backlights. Original steering wheel is in great condition. Original Tan carpets are in great condition, comes with (non original) mats front and rear (plus fitted rubber trunk mat).
This 108 runs and drives very well, the 4.5 liter V8 pulls strong and the automatic transmission shifts nicely. Tires are newer and in great shape. Oil was just Changed. The Air Conditioning blows Cold and the sunroof & power windows are in good working condition.
Included with the sale are the original owner's books, records, tool kit and spare tire. For more information about this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 4.5L, please call 609-975-498one.
