Rare low mileage (27,117) and original 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 2-door hardtop, (W108.018) Model 130 6-cylinder, 2.778 L/160 h.p., SOHC, w/Bosch Mechanical fuel injection backed by a four-speed automatic transmission.

The history of this vehicle is fully documented from the bill of sale in Berlin, Germany, (see photo) the shipping to Texas, replacement of the cylinder head, and the new alternator.There is also a 2003 Washington Times article highlighting this 280 SE’s life (see photo).

In summary, the Mercedes was purchased new in October of 1970 in Berlin, Germany by a Berliner, and although the 1970 dealer bill of sale (photo) and the trim tag on the front cowl indicate this car was white, it appears evident from every angle that this 280 SE has always been dark green metallic.

in 1986 the Benz was sold to a U.S. Army Dr. who had the car Federalized including the replacement of the glass headlights and shipped to Texas.This physician was relocated to California and later to the Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda, MD.In 1998 the car was sold to a close friend where it has remained in his family since.

This car is a true, documented time capsule. having no rust, and never in an accident. You will notice two indentations on the passenger side door without any paint chips.

interior is original and in excellent condition. No rips or stitching coming undone. All the gauges function as normal. The speedometer is still in kilometers. Wood in dash and doors are in fantastic original condition with only some slight chipping.

All the chrome inside and out is in excellent condition.

The tinted glass is original and in good condition (slight bubbling on windshield, driver’s side)

Electrically, everything works including the Becker AM/FM radio, power antenna, and power sunroof. Clock does not run.

The Benz runs and shifts like new and the four-wheel power disc brakes and power steering function perfectly.

I am listing this vehicle as a representative (broker) for the owner. All photographs and videos were taken by me. All the information presented was given to me by the owner. All questions will be directed to me and answered in a timely manner.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 15 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 7 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
