Mercedes made only about 8000 280SEL 4.5 V8s from 05/1971 until 11/1972. The V8 4.5 liter version was exclusively offered to the North American Market. This fact is making this car a particularly popular classic, as the powerful 200hp engine can easily cope with Autobahn speeds. The rare floor shifter make this car even more desirable.
The color combination (Tobacco Brown exterior, Cognac interior) is beautiful and shows very well. The undercarriage is rust-free and unmolested as you would expect from a car that has been well kept. the paint s in great condition. The MBtex seats are intact with minor, age related wear. The dash does have minor cracks, which are typical for the age of this car. The interior wood trim is average and the carpet is in great shape. The A/C blows ice cold air and the heater works as well. the chrome is in average condition. i would say that its a good driver condition.
The engine starts right up and runs strong and does not smoke . The transmission shifts smoothly. This car can be driven anywhere, The mileage on the odometer is 84.xxx.
Overall, this is a great car . Everythng is functioning and i also have the original radio. A rare Mercedes like this deserves your attention.
Two sets of keys comes with this car. The jack and lug wrench and the spare tire also comes with this car.
The photos show the car from various angles so you can verify the condition. If you need additional pictures, please let me know.
