Mercedes-Benz 280 SE W126 — 1985

• Mechanical condition

  The car starts easily and runs smoothly in both the engine and drivetrain. The brakes are in good condition. During the test drive, the ride felt calm and dignified, typical of a Mercedes S-Class. There was some noise from the fan belt initially, but it subsided after the car had been driven for a while. While it was not inspected on a lift, the visible vital components appeared to be in good condition. However, there were signs of rust around the rocker panels. The air suspension system has been disconnected, but all parts are still in place. The rear shock absorbers are new (non-air). The rear brakes are relatively new as well.

• Interior condition

  The interior is beautiful and well-maintained, with excellent quality and comfort in the seats and rear bench. The door panels and other trim pieces are in great condition. Similarly, the instrumentation, dashboard, and wood trim are well preserved in their original state. All electrical components appear to be functional (air suspension system disconnected). The headliner is in excellent condition. The fabric floor mats are in good shape, along with the original rubber floor mats from Mercedes-Benz. The functionality of the stereo is uncertain, possibly due to oxidation on the connections. The small latch for the first aid kit compartment has come loose but is included in the box.

• Exterior condition

  The paintwork is glossy and in original condition, except for the hood and one front fender that have been repainted due to stone chips, etc. Possibly, one door has also been repaired at a previous time. The glass, rubber, and plastic details are glossy and in excellent original condition. The wheels are in good condition, paired with Falken tires. The engine and trunk compartments are in good condition considering their age. However, there was some water in the trunk when the car was left outside on one occasion last autumn (otherwise always kept in the garage).

• General condition

  A well-maintained Swedish original car, which offers Mercedes quality and the feeling of the 80s, a classic cruiser car that also possesses performance - when needed. There are details to address, but overall, it's a fine classic and collector's car.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
