Mercedes-Benz W116 280 SE 1979 offered for sale in overall good condition.
This incredible vehicle has only had 2 owners from new, is an automatic model finished in Astral Silver Metallic with a rare blue cloth/part leather upholstery specification, all colour coded from factory, and with original chrome bumper styling kit. When the vendor bought the car in 2023, it had come out of dry storage and had been fully recommissioned, including a full service, 4 new tyres, new fuel pump, new fuel filter, and a new battery. Since then, the vehicle has not done very many miles, still being at around 104k miles, has been garaged and has had general maintenance. The vendor states that the car is outstanding to drive, and it’s a rare model in this colour combination. The vendor no longer uses the car, hence it is being offered for sale. The vehicle is tax and MOT exempt, and also ULEZ compliant, meaning this stunning 280 SE is all ready to be driven straight away.
This car is completely factory standard with no modifications over its original build sheet from new. It comes with an extensive folder full of previous invoices, including original Bill of sale, previous MOT certificates, and has over 10 Mercedes-Benz Dealer stamps in the service book up to 1990, a service invoice before being dry stored with a cost of £2,529.98, and now including all previous service work mentioned carried out in January 2023.
The body work is in extremely good condition, and the interior and roof lining are also in incredible condition. A very desirable, good looking car, in what has to be one of the best colour combinations.
