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.
Exterior and Interior
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE wears a smooth black coat that befits its Paul Bracq-penned lines, which are considered some of the most distinctive of all time. There's no mistaking a period Mercedes-Benz for anything else, really. Looking further, the twin stacked headlamps and imposing front grille of the W108 are present, as are the diminutive taillamp clusters at the rear. We're told that the front end of this car has been rebuilt. Finally, the car rolls on a set of steel wheels replete with black half hubcaps adorned by the iconic Mercedes-Benz Star. The interior of this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE is a five-seat affair with red leather seats and a wood-trimmed dashboard. The driver grips a thin-rimmed steering wheel that faces a comprehensive pack of VDO instruments, including an analog clock right at the cluster's center. Low down between the front seats lies a chrome-surrounded gear shifter, and higher up in the center console is a Becker Mexico push-button radio. We also spot what appears to be an air conditioning unit but are unsure of its functional status. Meanwhile, rear-seat passengers are treated to a first-class ride, courtesy of a plushly padded bench seat, armrests, and ashtrays. The trunk is a similarly capacious affair and hosts a full-size spare wheel and tire, too.
Engine
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE packs a 2.8L in-line 6-cylinder engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Research shows that the engine is said to produce 158hp and 177lb-ft and drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Moreover, the car has recirculating ball power steering, front and rear disc brakes, and independent suspension all around. The current owner reports new bolts, a new battery, new gaskets, and fresh fluids.
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.

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.
This 2019 Mercedes-AMG G 63 takes the already imposing G-Wagen formula and pushes it further with an inspired replica/tribute appearance. Showing 49,356 miles, this example features a satin black vinyl wrap over its factory designo Diamond White Metallic finish, along with an aftermarket body kit and aftermarket engine cover that give it the visual attitude associated with a certain build. Importantly, this is not being represented as an authentic edition, as it does not have the corresponding authenticity plaque. Beyond the exterior transformation, the specification remains strong with 22-inch AMG forged wheels, red AMG brake calipers, an Exclusive Interior Package Plus, carbon fiber trim, and a striking designo Classic Red/Black Exclusive Nappa leather cabin.
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 250 C 2.8 is a classic W114 coupe with the elegant pillarless profile that makes these cars so distinctive today. Showing approximately 90,892 miles, it pairs traditional Mercedes-Benz styling with a 2.8L naturally aspirated inline-six, a 4-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive. Finished in white over a red MB-Tex/leather interior, this example has the kind of period-correct character enthusiasts look for, with touches such as woodgrain dashboard trim, a Becker Europa radio, and sheepskin seat covers adding to the vintage European grand-touring atmosphere.
This 2012 Mercedes-Benz G 550 4MATIC is the kind of G-Class enthusiasts tend to gravitate toward: old-school W463 character, a naturally aspirated V8, permanent all-wheel drive, and a specification that feels special without changing what makes the G-Wagen so iconic. Showing approximately 69,673 miles, this example is finished in designo Night Black Magno over designo Black leather, giving it a stealthy factory appearance that is especially well suited to the squared-off body. Add in the Seat Comfort Package, Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seating, stainless exterior trim, and a factory sport exhaust, and this is a G 550 that blends serious presence with the kind of analog luxury SUV character that later generations moved away from.
