Description from the seller

Unique! "Timecapsule" Mercedes W108 280SE with a 4.5 liter V8 automatic.

With brakes and power steering and an air conditioning/climate control.

We bought this car from an older owner in San Francisco.

Where it has been left untouched in a garage for the last 20 years
Totally rust-free and dry (see photos) never welded!
With a very nice and fully original interior
Electric and tinted windows, beautiful chrome
New whitewall tires, brake hoses, etc.....

All manuals present and with the original and well-working Becker radio.
Under the hood and in the trunk very neatly maintained (with the original tool kit present).
Runs, shifts, and drives well.
In a long past the car was professionally repainted underneath in the original color once.
Last 3 photos show how we found the car in California.

Of course this 53-year-old sedan is unrestored and there will always be something to improve.

All import and VAT costs are paid

We can help you with transport across Europe

This car can be viewed and possibly picked up in Damwald

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
