Full description
The Mercedes Benz W108 and W109 were luxury cars built by Mercedes Benz in the US from 1965 through 1972. The initial model lineup consisted of three W108s: 250S, 250SE, and 300SE, as well as a sole W109, the 300SEL. Engines for the new car were carried over from the previous generation, but enlarged and refined.
During the winter of 1967/1968 Daimler launched the new W108 range, which now included 280S and 280SE, with production starting in November 1967 In January 1968, the model line was joined by yet another car, the 280SEL.
The 108W and 109W models sat on 14’’ wheels and had disc brakes on all four wheels.
On the 280S the two downdraft carburettors produced 140 hp (100 kW) and could push the car to 185 km/h (180 on auto), whilst 0-100 was done in 12.5 seconds. The fuel-injected delivered 160 hp (120 kW), and featured a new pump which was not affected by temperature or altitude. Thanks to the air oil filter and better arrangement of cylinders, cooling and hence economy improved. Performance of the 280SE, 280SEL and 300SEL was all but identical, a top speed of 190 km/h (185 on auto). Beeing only 5 km/h faster then the 280S model.
This particular car has 93372 km on board.
