My grandfather owned one and a jag 3.8 mk 2. When we used to go on holiday to cape town from jhb driving in those cars was a total highlight. As an 11 year old. can still remember the smells of the cars. Lovely!!
Your W 108 in the Horizon Blue is a stunning beauty! It looks like the new owner will thoroughly enjoy this car. There is something to be said about that German Engineering!!
I have owned a 1973 280sel 4.5 for 45 years and they are a beautiful driving car. One finger on the bus size steering wheel at 125 MPH all day long .A wonderful team built car, very under appreciated in North America. Well worth a look at if a classic Mercedes is on your radar. No disappointments, if you can find a good one. Extremely undervalued.
Had 2 of them through the years, the 4.5 is a must! Still have a stash of parts since they are gaining value and/or if I ever get another one, it could go either way.
Interesting and nice car. I too have a W108 28O SE (1969/70) in the same colour, Horizon Blue. There is some money to be spent in that interior but the parts are at least available. Strange that it is a handful over 50 MPH - W108’s are very stable cars. Check the damper that sits above the differential- very likely worn or broken. A new one makes a world of difference.
I would love to have one , are they not to difficult to keep ? Friend of mine has one as a daily driver ! I would like to do that my self . Yours is beautiful !! Thank you !!
@@TABonTV Let the guy know if he needs anything for his 108 I come across a lot of decent used parts and not silly money. Im in California and would be happy to help a fellow Brit:) Cheers John.
For me the W108/109 Series is the most beautiful Sedan Benz ever made

Your grandfather had great taste in cars! 👍

Stacked headlamps! Love it. 😍

My father god bless him used to own the same Model in White with American sealed Headlights.with light brown interior .
Great to hear this car has real special meaning for you!

Amazing W108/109 Benz 😊❤🎉

It is a lovely car, very kind of the owner to let me get a film together with it!
I have owned a 280S for eight years and for me it's a keeper, a forever car, and I have never said that about any of my other automobile purchases.
Good on you! Keeping these great cars alive!

45 years is very impressive! You should be proud of that!

My fave vid of yours so far, but mainly because you finally featured a cool car. 😉
By far the coolest car ever to feature on the channel...

Thanks, will be sure he sees this!
Unfortunately the wooden window frames are missing.🙁
Beautiful Car that’s a real true Benz
Old Mercedes (especially left hookers) are really cool, great looking and a real classic in the making
For sure, the attention this beauty was getting was insane!
What a beautiful classic would love to own one but with a v8 for more effortless driving
Yeah - that would be a very smooth ride!

Thank you !!
With the crazy car prices in the US post COVID, you sir picked up a really nice deal for 12K Pound Sterlings!
Yeah! A good investment for him!
@@TABonTV for sure.
Beautiful
Wow, column shift wasn't common on US market cars.
I thought the floor shifts were rarer... Good to know!
Bull crap
Mein lieblings Auto 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Try the W111
I've got an 11! An S211, does that count? 😃
Man after my own heart:)
A fine choice of car!

Nice one John! He's seen this so I'm sure he'll hook up if he needs to!
I have same car, even the color
run and drive, but bad interior and paint
Yes, but V8 4.5 is the car to have a 280S is a nono
There's no replacement for displacement
Twelve thousand pounds? I’m glad I don’t live in England.
Don't mention the weather too 😂
