The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class is widely regarded as one of the most over-engineered luxury saloons ever produced. Long before the modern Merc's focus on ritzy tech, the W140 was built to the marque's then-legendary standards - standards that prioritised engineering integrity above all else. The 2.8-litre straight-six S280 offers a refined balance of smooth power delivery and mechanical simplicity, making it one of the more accessible routes into W140 ownership.
This particular example benefits from a well-documented history, with Mercedes-Benz services recorded from its pre-delivery inspection in July 1996 onwards. A respray with new trim was carried out in 2017, and the car has since received continued attention including rear axle shafts, alloy wheel refurbishment, four Pirelli tyres, and a comprehensive service in early 2024. The vendor describes the car as very tidy and fully functional, representing a great avenue into one of Mercedes' most legendary 90s cars.image.png1.45 MB
