    For me the W108/109 Series is the most beautiful Sedan Benz ever made

    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!!

    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.

    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.

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

    • @chriswilson9525
      @chriswilson9525 5 месяцев назад

      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.
