AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IN HIGHLIGHT:
• Iconic W116 sedan with a 2.8-liter inline-six engine (177 HP)
• Configuration with 4-speed manual transmission
• Indicated mileage of only 67,415 km
• ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) registration and certification active
• Elegant color combination with dark blue body and beige interior
STORY/OVERVIEW:
Presented in 1972, the W116 series represents the first generation officially designated by Mercedes-Benz as the "S-Class" (Sonderklasse), setting new global standards in passive safety, comfort and build prestige. The 280 SE is powered by the famous 2,746 cc inline-six M110 with DOHC and mechanical Bosch fuel injection, capable of developing 177 HP (130 kW). The example offered, registered in 1973, is equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and features an odometer reading of 67,415 kilometers. The car boasts ASI historic registration.
BODY/PAINT:
The bodywork is finished in a classic and elegant dark blue color and presents in good overall cosmetic condition. Some signs of age are evident: the rear hood and roof require polishing, the front hood shows minimal pitting at the corners, some chromed trims need refreshing and the door handles show small spots of patination on the upper part. The underbody and chassis are sound, intact and dry, free of rust.
INTERIOR:
The cabin remains in beige upholstery with matching panels, preserving the original atmosphere of the model. Conservatively, a few imperfections are noted: small tears on the upper B-pillars near the seals and a tear at the rear of the front central armrest. The dashboard shows two visible cracks and the wooden insert on the glovebox door shows superficial cracking.

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.

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.
