Powerful 4. 5L M117 SOHC V8 Engine (195 hp)
Three-speed automatic transmission

Power steering. brakes and windows and rear defroster

Many original components. a solid chassis and relatively presentable cosmetic pieces make this 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL 4. 5 a worthy restoration project. brought to you by MotoeXotica Classic Cars.

The previous owner. a Mr. Erdos of Holly. Michigan. bought the car a year ago from a neighbor who had stored it in his garage for many years. The seller changed the spark plugs before selling it and the car runs but it will take more restoration efforts to get it to a Mercedes-Benz level of roadworthiness. This example came from the factory with the following options - central locking system. U. S. trim. Becker AM/FM stereo. Thermoking air-conditioning. power windows and green. heat-insulating glass. with rear defroster.

The Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109 vehicles equipped with the 4. 5L SOHC cast-iron block m117 V-8 were produced. starting in early 1971. with the 280SE 4. 5. The 4. 5 engine was released by MB initially for the North American market. to get around the tougher emissions standards without killing the engine output and performance of the 3. 5L engine. The m117 4. 5 is very similar to the 3. 5. with a 30 mm taller stroke. The heads also received larger combustion chambers. lowered compression to 8. 8:1 or 8. 0:1. depending on engine variation and production date. Power was 230 or 200 horsepower in Europe. depending on compression but 195 horsepower for North America. The D-Jet EFI system was tuned further for the 4. 5. with a specific ECU that gave a 10 percent full-throttle enrichment. This (along with a taller rear-end gear) allowed the 4. 5 to achieve similar efficiency to the 3. 5. yet more power on full throttle. The 3. 5 and 4. 5 are so similar that 3. 5 heads can fit directly on a 4. 5 with no modifications for a roughly 11:1 compression ratio!

Believed to have been repainted in its original gray. the paint is in fair shape. with some blemishes visible. Most of the glass is clear and intact but the driver's sideview mirror glass is on the console and the rear window and rear passenger side glass carry aftermarket tinting. The radio aerial is missing but most of the chrome trim is in one piece and serviceable.

The interior is almost 100 percent original. with the exception of a Pioneer AM/FM stereo with CD player and at least four speakers installed in the doors and rear package shelf. The right front passenger headrest is missing but the black leather seats are in good condition. the dashboard is crack-free and its VDO gauges work as designed while the door panels. headliner. the large steering wheel. gearshift lever and upholstery are in decent condition overall. Driver assist features include power steering and power brakes.

The 108 and 109 Chassis Mercedes-Benz vehicles with the 4. 5L m117 V-8 are still. to this date. sought after by many people who owned one in the early 1970s (or who had a family member or friend with one). Also. many people who live in Europe are buying rust-free examples from the USA and shipping them back to Europe. The 4. 5 wasn't offered in Europe at the time. and it has a possibly stronger following than the 3. 5 in Europe. In 1971. the 280 SEL 4. 5 sedan was available at the same time as the regular-length 3. 5 sedan. The almost four-inch (10-centimeter) difference gave the rear-seat passengers additional space to stretch their legs. a plus on longer journeys. This 4. 5-liter engined long sedan outsold the 3. 5-liter version by three-to-one in 1971 and the following year. the more powerful version was the choice of more than 6. 00 customers while only about 500 people chose the lesser car. Production in 1971-1972 totaled 8. 73 units.

Competition to this Mercedes-Benz in 1972 included Jaguar's XJ6 4. 2L. BMW's 3. 0 S and the Bentley T.

MotoExotica. com is a licensed bonded dealer through the state of Missouri. We have been in business since 1988 selling high end. special interest. pre-owned and exotic vehicles.

With the advent of the Internet and EBay Motors. we have found an avenue that allows us to sell cars we normally purchased for ourselves. We have owned just about every exotic and luxury car known to man; such as ISO Grifo to Jaguar XKE. Lamborghini Countach and Rolls Royce.

In the past. these cars were sold primarily through Hemmings Motor News and through word of mouth. We would normally keep a car and enjoy it personally for 6 – 18 months. However. with listing cars on EBay Motors. our turnover has tremendously increased. Now. the average time we hold a car is 4 – 6 weeks!

With the increase in turnover has come the increased need of fine automobiles. We are constantly looking for exceptional cars and travel the country coast to coast in search of the rare and unusual. We find our cars through individuals like yourselves as well as classic car and dealers auctions. We do not purchase vehicles that we would not be proud to own ourselves.
