Descripción

The Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL, part of the W108 range, perfectly reflects the marque's late-1960s reputation for engineering quality, comfort and understated style. Powered by a smooth 2.8 litre straight-six, these cars offered refined performance and superb ride quality, making them a favourite among executives and dignitaries of the period. Right hand drive examples are relatively rare, with many originally supplied to markets such as Australia, adding further appeal to surviving cars today.

This 1968 example is a standard (short) wheelbase car, finished in an elegant dark blue with a beautifully contrasting cream interior, an understated and timeless combination which suits the model particularly well. Its history is especially appealing, having remained in single lady ownership in Australia from new until 2016. During this time, it was chauffeur driven which is reflected in the car's notably well-preserved condition and gentle overall feel. Following the owner's passing, it was subsequently imported to the UK and has been with its current owner since 2023.

The car is accompanied by an excellent history file, including a large collection of invoices and records demonstrating consistent, attentive maintenance over many years. Mechanically, it has clearly been well cared for, with the engine rebuilt in 2018 using genuine parts sourced from Germany. In more recent years, further investment has included refurbishment of the air-conditioning system, along with new carpets, shock absorbers, and brake discs and pads. On the road, the 280 SEL delivers exactly what one would expect; smooth, refined performance paired with a composed and effortless driving experience. Altogether, this is a particularly well-presented and evidently cherished example, combining rare right hand drive specification, long-term ownership history and careful upkeep. A superb opportunity to acquire a genuinely elegant and highly usable classic Mercedes-Benz. Consigned by Fraser Smith
