Vehicle Description
This is a lovely Mercedes Benz 280SE W116 sedan. Finished in Ivory
beige with Bamboo MB-tex, the car presents in very nice and
certainly way above average condition. This was a Californian &
Texan car for most of its life so it is without any rust anywhere,
including the underside which is scale free. The car has had 3
owners (first 2 in California) who added most of the mileage as a
town commuter. Recently serviced and all in working order.
Mechanically the car is in good shape with no known issues. Just a
quick look under the hood is testament to how well this Mercedes
has been maintained. Body and paint is excellent. The car is
accident free and the paint is completely original. It is very
shiny and consistent with only minor chips here and there but
nothing glaringly so. There is no crazing or cracks in the paint.
The rear glass has some internal delaminating at the base of the
glass. The interior is in lovely condition with the interior only
showing modest use. She is in great shape with no unsightly wear on
the seats, carpets or headliner. The dash does have the typical
cracks. The wood has minimal fading, no lifting or peeling. Only
the piece around the gear-shifter has some lifting of the veneer.
Have a close look at the buttons and switch gear; they are all in
good condition. The trunk is super clean with its original carpet
mat in good condition. She is also a non-smoker car so clean and
sweet. The car presents with all its original features; electric
windows, door locks, antenna, original Becker radio, A/C, heater,
interior and exterior lights. The sun-roof works smoothly. Tyres
are brand new white-walls, fitted on original MB wheels with
factory hubcaps. A set of Mercedes mud-flaps with white logos
finish off the car nicely, I think. These can easily be removed if
they are "not you". Not much more can be said but to invite you to
take a close look at the many, many photos of this great Mercedes
280SE sedan. Truly in excellent condition, not a show-car but a
beautiful example nonetheless. Surely amongst one of the better
examples available for sale today.
