Mercedes-Benz 280 SE W108, 1968.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Overview/Conditions
Mercedes-Benz - 280 SE W108 in very good condition
The car has participated in several elegance contests, always achieving good results.
It has a small rust spot with the only passing point, located between the door sill and the rear left door closure, and shows no other critical points. Original chrome details are in excellent condition, with tinted windows.
About 10 years ago, it underwent a minor conservation restoration to the exterior bodywork.

During 2024, the car was mechanically serviced with original parts, including the overhaul of the braking system, transmission joint, and differential seals. All fluids were replaced, service belts were changed, and the alternator was serviced. The heating radiator from the cabin was disconnected from the car's system due to a leak.

Internally, the car is very well preserved; the interior fabrics are original, as is the carpeting. The instrumentation is fully functional, and the dashboard has no cracks; the wood trim appears to be in very good condition.

The driver side door sill is missing, purchased but the color was wrong.
The sale includes a complete, never-installed manual gearbox.

Registered with ASI no 012995
Country of registration: Italy

The car can be viewed or picked up in the province of Teramo, Italy.

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.
