1973 Mercedes-Benz 280 C W114

Highlights

  • Well-preserved example imported from California, USA
  • Desirable 2.8-litre DOHC engine
  • Comes with original instruction booklets and Mercedes dashboard tools
  • Original Blaupunkt radio still fitted
  • Recently fitted with new whitewall tyres


The Appeal

An oft-overlooked pillar-less coupé, in spite of its undeniable elegance, the W114 hails from a period when Mercedes-Benz's build quality and engineering were without equal. 

The 2.8-litre double overhead cam variant sits at the top of the range, providing the balance of performance and luxury that made these cars so desirable when new. This 1973 example benefits from California's dry climate, reportedly resulting in a rust-free body - a significant advantage for any car of this vintage. 

Highly original, reportedly well-maintained and fitted with a recent new set of tyres, it's time for a European buyer to get their hands on this stunning Coupé
