Mercedes-Benz perfected the German luxury car recipe with the S-Class, a model that’s been around since 1954, and gained the ‘S’ moniker in 1972, with the W116 being the first to carry this hallowed letter. The preceding three generations weren’t explicitly badged ‘S’, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have the pedigree, in fact, they laid the groundwork for a formula that has served Mercedes-Benz superbly to this date. What we’ve got here is a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE from New York with a healthy 107,000 miles behind it, which is reportedly an all-original car except for the tires, brakes, and windshield. Two keys are included in the sale, as are books and manuals.
Wearing lines penned by Paul Bracq and Friedrich Geiger, the W108/109 model designation, to which this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE belongs, ran from 1965 to 1972. This example wears a lovely dark green exterior and rolls on beautiful period Mercedes-Benz rims with the center caps proudly displaying the ‘Star’. All chrome work and badges are present and correct, and the twin exhaust pipes at the rear add a hint of sportiness to this comfort cruiser. All in, this car carries an air of majesty that will turn heads wherever you go. A new windshield was installed in 2021. The interior features a brown color scheme that is a great complement to the green exterior, and it looks in great condition too. This example has power windows, air conditioning, and the original Becker radio which reportedly still works! The driver grips the signature Mercedes-Benz thin-rimmed steering wheel with a chrome horn ring, although it’s said that the horn needs to be reconnected. You’ve also got a heater, rear armrest, and the original toolkit is included in the boot, with the spare wheel.
The W108/W109 series came with several in-line six and V8 engines on offer, which were carbureted, or fuel injected and sent to drive the rear wheels via manual or automatic transmissions. This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE is powered by a 2.8L M130 in-line six-cylinder engine featuring mechanical Bosch fuel injection, that sends 158hp and 177lb-ft to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic gearbox. These cars were quite sprightly for their time and weight, reaching sixty from rest in under 11 seconds and going on to nearly 120mph when new. Suspension is via coil springs and shock absorbers all around. Braking is via discs on all wheels.

How does one define a classic car? Does a car's age make it a classic? Maybe it's the rarity factor? There are many ways to classify a classic car, but only a very few are recognized by all as a bonafide icon. The car we have today takes away that burning question and is a classic in every right. Present today is this lovely 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE. This luxury cruiser and German classic has a reported 11,000 miles on the clock and is the perfect way to spruce up your collection or savor a weekend drive in all its glory.
The Mercedes-Benz W108 series of 1965 to 1972 is part of the hallowed S-Class lineage. Intended as the Stuttgart automaker's pinnacle offerings of the time, these four-door sedans were widely acclaimed, and over 380,000 were made during their production run. This example, a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE, is a four-door sedan with a mere 20,500 miles on the clock and has received some refreshment work to keep it in superb condition. If you'd like to see what Mercedes-Benz motoring of the Sixties and Seventies was like, this is a worthy classic car to purchase as a first-time classic or another addition to a discerning collection.

One of the smartest classic cars to own and drive on a regular basis has got to be a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 generation of 1971 to 1989. These cars were Hollywood darlings when they were new, and over 300,000 were sold worldwide. It’s estimated that 68% of these ended up in the United States, as official or gray market imports. That’s why getting your hands on one isn’t that hard. This Florida-based 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is one great example. The car has got 86,100 miles under its belt, and has received some new components to keep it driving as sweetly as it did back when it was new.
For decades, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has represented the entry point into Mercedes-Benz ownership, as the prolific German luxury automaker’s compact luxury car offering. Over the years, the C-Class has grown, both in terms of sheer size, as well as luxury features and of course, performance. AMG got their mitts on the C-Class as well, resulting in some super-saloons that can really take everyone else by surprise. This W205-generation 2019 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is one of those super-saloons that’s been fettled by AMG. With just under 30,000 miles to its name, this Florida-based car is reportedly all stock and comes with up-to-date servicing. If you’re in search of a fast family hauler, here’s the ideal candidate.
One of the most legendary members of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineage is the W124 generation. This generation came about in 1984, and was made until 1995 as a sedan. Other variants carried on until as late as 1997. The W124 is widely considered to be one of the most solidly-engineered Mercedes-Benz models; it’s not uncommon to see them being used as taxis in some African countries to this day, braving elements such as desert sand, scorching temperatures and of course, limited availability of spare parts. We did get the W124 in the United States as well, and today, we’ve got a nice 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300D from Virginia for sale. This car has got 131,410 miles on the odometer, but that’s a mere stroll for a W124. You really should buy it because it’s a car that will become a classic very soon; yet is modern enough to drive around regularly. The car is said to be all-stock and has received a recent service.
