((( Reduce From £25,000 To £20,000 NO Offers ))) The Mercedes W108/W109 series was launched in 1965 and remained in production for the next seven years. An update of the much-loved W111 and W112 fintail saloons, almost 400,000 rolled off the production lines by the time it expiredThe W108 had a standard wheelbase, while the W109 had the longer version. The suspension was different too, with the short-wheelbase cars having conventional steel springs, while the long-wheelbase had self-levelling air suspension.Offered with a range of engines from the 2.5-litre, 128bhp inline-six with a top speed of 113mph, all the way to the thumping 6.3-litre V8 with 247bhp and a top speed of 137mph, both manual and automatic gearbox options were offered, both of which had four forward ratios.Initially brought to market as the 250S, 250SE and 300SEb - plus the LWB 300SEL the second series arrived in 1967 bringing with it new names: the 250 was now known as the 280 as a result of the 2.5-litre engine gaining another 300cc capacity. And there was a range-topper version with the 3.5 V8 engine but Mercedes strangely couldnt bring themselves to call it the 350SE so it became the 280SE 3.5.The interiors are typical Mercedes of the era, which is to say under-stated, elegant, and crafted from proper materials like solid wood, chrome, and leather.Now very collectable, most you will see being offered for sale will be left-hand-drive, which makes a right-hooker like this one more desirable.-+++STUNNING CONNOTATION+++-5 minutes from Hendon Central Tube & Hendon Thames Link Stations - Free Parking Available on Site.
