Portugal National Vehicle. Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Limousine 1967 with only 31,017 km and in perfect working order.
Completely original, it is one of the few units of this classic luxury car, which were assembled in the old Movauto factory in Setúbal, closed in 1992.
The vehicle has only had 1 owner, a former industrialist from our home city in Covilhã.
Some details in the interior are required.
The W108/W109 debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1965. The initial range of W108 models featured 4 variants (250 S, 250 SE, 280SE and 300 SEb) and a single W109 (300 SEL).

Designed by the famous Paul Bracq, it was a luxury model from Mercedes, a consistent combination of technical brilliance, engineering, performance, and high standards of style and elegance of the time, and was produced between 1967/72.
