Truly gorgeous example. My first Mercedes was a 71 280S. Burgndy paint with bamboo leather. It was a column shift auto. Still one of my favorite Mercedes and I'd love to have another some day. That white steering wheel and shifter really make the interior pop.
You have a lovely car in beautiful condition. I have a 1969 280S that's my daily driver, with a 4-speed transmission, sunroof, air conditioning, manual steering, windows and seats, in DB834 Moss Green Metallic. I love the way it drives and handles. I bought in 1999 with 200,000 miles on it, commuted in it for a couple of years, retired in 2001 and have put just over another 200,000 miles on it. It's been in four accidents, and after one a decade ago, I had it repainted, reupholstered and rechromed. I live in Southern California, so rust isn't much of a problem.
@@vaasuagrawal4062 the price depends entirely on c=the condition of the car. According to the Hagerty website, they can go for anything up to about $25,000 for a show-ready example.
Very tidy 108 you have there. Fabulous cars and values are only now starting to reflect their value as a classic. The parts book is incredible. I have a ‘69 280 SE and also a 2 w111 2 doors (a 3.5 coupe and 220SE cabriolet) and they look great together.
Longer wheel base wasn`t W109.. Both W108 and W109 was in longer wersion. W108 was like elegance trim and W109 Avantgarde, more chrome, better specs inside

Nice video Nick, I want one now!
Nice review and beautiful example. I'd like to know a little more on the aftermarket AC in the boot? Could you ask the owner? Thanks
Thank you for, yet another fantastic video
What an incredible looking specimen.❤

I had a car like this. Folks, make sure to replace all the rubber hoses in your old cars.
Those old Mercedes were built like tanks, not like these flimsy American cars.
