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.
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.

Finished in an elegant Champagne Metallic over Brown color combination, and accompanied by both a soft top and removable hard top, this example offers versatility and classic appeal. Its understated luxury, paired with Mercedes-Benz’s reputation for durability, makes it a compelling entry point into classic European motoring.
