Mercedes-Benz : 200-Series bright chrome

Up for bids is this super clean 1970 Mercedes 280SE 4. 5 SedanWill sell to highest bidder in 7days

 If you've been in the market for a Mercedes 4. 5 you're probably used to seeing lots of worn out examples come up for sale on ebay. The utilitarian nature of the W108 sedan meant that people drove them regularly. The last W108 that I used daily had almost 500. 00 miles on it! This sweet little cars has been garaged and cared for. this is one that slipped through the cracks. The car sports a beautiful original interior. very nice original trim. and an undercarriage that is truly impressive for a 42 year old car.
The car has had one repaint in its original color. They did a pretty nice job with the repaint. it's not show quality but you can tell it was carefully and decently prepped. It's perfectly fine for a driver and presents well with good gloss and shine. The body is straight. the car has picked up a few little parking lot dings along the way but nothing major.  The car's salvage title is the car's biggest flaw I do not have any information on that. The body and undercarriage of this car are super solid. . no problems. Panel fit is excellent. doors all close with a precise 'click'. Tires are  radials with good tread  
The car runs and drive smooth and idles fine as it should. There is no pulling or drifting from side to side when you brake. The trans shifts smoothly as it should . All the power windows work well as does the power sunroof.
The chrome and trim on the car are really very nice. showing no problems with pitting or fading. Bumpers are  true. Lights and signals all work as they should. lenses are in great shape.  
All of the car's glass are original Sekurit branded pieces in excellent shape. The windshield is a Sigla piece marked "Made in Western Germany". it's also in great shape with no major wear. The weatherstripping on the car is all original and still soft. pliable. and in good shape. The trunk is really excellent. it's another indicator of just how solid this car is. Most W108 trunks pick up some surface rust under the mat. with more serious corrosion common in the left and right wells. You'll find this trunk to be totally solid and original. never repainted and just as nice as can be. These W108 trunks are deceptively large. with room enough for 4 golf bagsThe interior of this car is one of its strong points. as you can see from the photos it's extremely nice. MB-Tex never fails to amaze me with how well it holds up. these seats are over 42 years old and are still fantastic. The dash pad is in good condition with just 2 splits and no areas of pull back. pretty rare for this series. The wood trim in this interior is good.
