I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps Efi and tank clean and rustfree
What I like most about Mercedes-Benz cars, particularly of this vintage is how they blend styling and asthetics with function and engineering. The American equivalents would be the Cadillac and the Chrysler Imperial of the 60s.
Loved those interior pictures ! M-B Quality. . .Tired of todays cars with all the flimsy plastic controls/fittings/switches etc. that get old and break.
My 250S was a beauty until, stopped in traffic on the Bayshore Freeway, near Mountain View, California, I was rear-ended by a semi doing 35 miles an hour. Caved in the back, totaled the car, but I just opened the driver door and got out. Enough said about the quality of that car.
@Jerbob1 OOnly a semi could have done that to a 108, I was the proud owner of a 1972 280S for 13 years and I guess I'll never again own anything so handsome, elegant, so strong and well engineered.....

This pretty nice; but nothing can touch my awesome Civic in all its glory! With me driving, My Civic is the Chuck Norris of all cars period!.... But old Mercedes are nice too.
this is a great clip of the worlds most beautiful car ever made! ive seen a 280S or if it is 280SE -70 for 8000:- / $900 for sale here in Sweden and as it has manuall transmission it´d be the best first car for a Mercedes lover and car fan! :)
when i was a child, whenever i hear Mercedes Benz, this is the very image of the car that comes first to my mind. the w108/ 109 with US headlights. : )
I had to junk an almost perfect 1972 280sel 4.5 because the heater control levers broke.
Only 27,000 miles; it was such a shame. But you know how safety inspectors are....

What kind of car is this, and can it drift like my awesome civic?
uglysnotnosepunk 2 years ago
One of the most beautifull cars ever made; a work of art.
Should stand next to a Citroen DS and a
Jaguar XJ from the same era, allthough the Mercedes is superior building quality.
