Description
This exquisite 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280S boasts a stunning finish in Astral Silver Metallic Paint, harmoniously contrasting with its elegant Black MB-Tex interior. Beneath the hood resides a robust 2.7-liter inline-six carbureted engine, perfectly mated to a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic transmission. The devoted ownership has meticulously cared for this W116 S-Class, which now presents an odometer reading of 286,000 kilometers. It is currently available for sale through the seller, representing the owner, complete with an Active and Normal British Columbia registration.
For US bidders, this 280S is directly importable without modification as it is EPA & DOT exempt being greater than 25 years old. For more information on transport/import please visit our Transport/Import page here.
The exterior of this German Saloon showcases the resplendent Astral Silver finish, accompanied by the distinctive Bundt wheels, chrome wheel arch trim, and a convenient sunroof wind deflector. Noteworthy modifications include the transition of the bumpers from N/A specification to the sleek European style, with the installation of a European-market front bumper.
European-market headlights have also been thoughtfully integrated into the design. It's worth mentioning that there are a few minor instances of paint bubbling on the driver's side fender and the passenger side front rocker which is duly noted.
Stepping into the cabin, one is greeted by the opulent Black MB-Tex upholstery complemented by meticulously color-matched loop carpeting and tasteful Zebrano wood accents adorning the dashboard. A host of desirable features enhances the driving experience, such as manual windows, power steering, power-assisted brakes, and an air conditioning system.
However, it's worth mentioning that the air conditioning system may require attention, as it is currently described as "weak" and in need of a recharge. The 6-digit odometer records just under 287k-kms, with approximately 77,000 of those being accumulated during the current ownership. The vehicle retains its factory Becker Europa II radio, featuring a fader for the speakers and a power antenna.
Powering this classic beauty is the spirited 2.7-liter M110 inline-six engine, which comes equipped with a Solex carburetor for optimal performance. The seamless shifting experience is managed through a 4-speed automatic transmission. This formidable engine boasts a power output of 182 horsepower and a robust torque rating of 177 pound-feet, ensuring a dynamic and engaging driving experience.
