1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE W108 in Blue


WHY THIS VEHICLE?
Original, low mileage, vintage Mercedes-Benz in wonderful condition. This 280 SE was lovingly cared for and maintained since new by a family of Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts.
FACTORY-INSTALLED OPTIONS:
Behr Air Conditioner
Becker Grand Prix Stereo Radio
Automatic Transmission (Floor Mounted)
HISTORY
Originally purchased out of Oklahoma, this Mercedes was part of the same family until the mid-2000s. This family would care for and maintain the vehicle with regular service and cosmetic work at the same local Mercedes-Benz dealership. It was then sold to another local OK family who would care for it for a few years until it made its way north to Massachusetts. The current owner would also maintain and service this Mercedes regularly until it was purchase by us at AlphaCars as a prime example of originality.
CONDITION
This Mercedes-Benz is in great overall condition. A true survivor with minimal rust and all original metal body panels. The paint is clear and clean with some spots that are showing higher paint readings due to previous cosmetic repairs. The paint, however, is uniform and color-matched. Moving inside you will find the MB-Tex seats look great and are in original condition, with wear that is much less than a vehicle of this vintage. The carpets, consoles, and levers all look great and work as designed. The factory AC has been de-activated but the switches and controls are all in working order and have remained installed.
COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION & SERVICE STATUS:
We performed a comprehensive vehicle inspection. Our master technician checked the entire vehicle. The vehicle was road-tested, and all functions tested. Including electrical, drivability, and accessories. All maintenance and service updates were completed, as well as concourse-level reconditioning and detailing work.
Service Status: All Maintenance items are up to date.
Tires: Ironman Touring 195/75/14

Rear: 90% Material Remaining
