The Mercedes-Benz W108 280S was introduced in the late 1960s as part of the Stuttgart brand’s full-size luxury saloon range. 

Under the bonnet sits the 2.8-liter M130 engine, a smooth straight-six delivering around 140hp, paired to either a four-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. While not as quick as its fuel-injected sibling, the 280S provided ample performance for effortless cruising, backed by Mercedes’ renowned engineering.

The design, penned by Paul Bracq, embodied restrained sophistication with its clean lines, upright grille, and subtle chrome accents. Inside, the cabin featured fine materials, solid craftsmanship, and a spacious layout that emphasized comfort.

The example on offer presents well, being finished in white over red leather interior with 41090km indicated. It features white wall tires with the floor shift four-speed manual, and stunning wood trim adding to a well-rounded spec. It comes with the period correct radio, a spare wheel, and jack. Today, it stands as a symbol of classic German luxury, an elegant saloon that captures the spirit of Mercedes’ golden age.
