Description
An absolute time warp, 3 previous owner Mercedes 280TE. 7 seats, beautiful 'Mesa Red' (think rich autumnal orange) & original velour. Absolutely rust free, rot free & runs on the button. Never been welded, fantastic underneath, (check out the MOT's), this car was in the same ownership for 35 years (still got their main dealer purchase invoice) & it was clearly never driven in the rain. Matching numbers, enormous history file, original books, spare, tool, medical kits & dog guard / parcel shelf. Little upgrades like the Blaupunkt stereo will charge your phone, play your music & fully hands free. So well built, ahead of its time with split rear seats, power steering & super comfortable suspension system. 7 seats & roof rails great fun for big families, an enormous boot & clever dog guard when the third row is folded away.
This car is not concours. It's incredibly clean, honest & solid as a rock - no bubbles, no rust, no corrosion, amazing drive - it's been kept really well and aged gracefully for it's 41 years. Lots of routine jobs have been done - shocks, brakes, joints etc. Loads of recent servicing bills too, including all filters changed 2025 & new MOT. Its an absolute beauty.... & historic status means it's road tax free too. You won't find another one.
