Beschreibung
This German Mercedes 280 SE was delivered on 09 May 1968 and registered the day after to its first owner, Herr Dr. Kayser from Engelskirchen, who remained faithful to this car until the end. We bought it 11 years ago from his estate and, with painstaking small-scale work, restored it completely and to the highest standard. It is a one-owner car, with verifiable 97, 470 km on the clock, accident-free, and has always been serviced at Mercedes branches. Due to the long standstill, what started as a planned service became an extensive restoration. It still has its original interior, original carpeting, original wood, original chrome and, in parts, its original paintwork. All books, keys, the original onboard tool, and even the original spare wheel are present. The appearance is that of a year-old car. In the restoration, a verifiable 125, 000 euros were invested. All aggregates were overhauled; the rear axle received a longer 3. 69 final drive so that long motorway runs can be made at a relaxed engine speed. The vehicle is comparable to other market-available Mercedes W108s and is an extraordinary car with near‑new technology and a body without any need for work. It drives like a new car. This fine Mercedes will receive a professional final cleaning and a registration with a Historic Vehicle plate (H-Kennzeichen) in the near future. The vehicle is being sold with a 12-month warranty and is very affordable......... ** Special equipment:** 726 Beige/ grau uni 008 Beige fabric 8020 / MB-Tex Beige 8000, carpet 8003 Beige weave 401 Individual seats front 410 Electric sunroof 423 4-speed automatic with steering wheel gearshift 463 Hazard warning lights with horn 516 Becker Grand Prix 540 Upholstery between the driver seats (6-seater) 551 Ivory-coloured wheel 587 Front armrests foldable ** Standard extras:** Power steering with steering damper Disc brakes all round, with vacuum booster Glovebox lockable and illuminated Footwell illuminated Front and rear interior lights Wipers with two speeds Windscreen washer Heater separately adjustable for driver and passenger Cigarette lighter with high setting for driver Rear centre armrest folding Leather trim Clock Triangular emergency window for opening on the front doors ** Upgraded:** Fog light Radial tyres with whitewall Halogen headlights Battery with greater capacity Automatic seat belts at the front left & right Right-hand exterior mirror ** Work carried out:** Make the car rollable and inspect on the ramp Prepare engine and transmission for operation Remove combustion chambers with Ballistol Flush combustion chambers with engine oil 20W-50 & filter Check and adjust valve clearance and seal valve clearance bolts in the cylinder head Replace fuel hoses and fuel filter Replace air filter Replace spark plugs and ignition leads Early engine mount renewal Valve cover gasket renewal Test run, no pre-ignition, overhaul Transmission dismantling and full revision Transmission reassembly Axle seal replaced Early? drive shaft support Replace fuel tank and mounting plates Replace fuel pump Replace fuel lines Replace in-tank fuel filter Replace external fuel filter Replace steering box removal and overhaul Replace steering coupling Renewal of tie rods Bearings of idler arm renewal Steering linkage renewal Steering damper renewal Low-pressure hose renewal Pressure hose renewal Service brake master cylinder renewal Black satin finish on brake system Front axle overhaul Hubs disassembling and wheel bearings renewal Brake calipers left and right renewal Left brake caliper renewal Right brake caliper renewal Discs renewal Brake pads renewal Brake hoses renewal Front axle dismantling Front axle parts powder-coated or yellow zinc-plated Ball joints renewal Steering rack tune-up Play adjustment Front suspension mounts renewal Steering damper renewal
