Description

This classic 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE offers the calm, composed driving experience you expect from a W116 saloon. The smooth automatic gearbox and refined suspension make motorway miles effortless, while the air conditioning and high-gloss wood trim add a touch of period luxury. It feels more like a grown-up cruiser than a modern hustle car, rewarding relaxed driving and long journeys.

Practically minded buyers will appreciate the roomy four-seat cabin, right-hand drive UK specification and the car’s historic appeal for many markets. With notably low recorded miles for its age and a sympathetic interior, it’s an attractive choice for collectors or someone seeking a characterful classic to enjoy.
