Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine is running a bit rough and the valves are ticking; an overhaul and service of the machinery is needed. Furthermore, the owner shows the engine compartment and apologizes for its finish. Here, a new owner can work wonders when the mood strikes. The gearbox willingly shifts up when accelerating, and the driving feel is somewhat American in a W116 with its steering and large steering wheel.
-
Interior condition
Nice and fresh plush interior and carpets along with good wood inserts, ceiling and door sides that give an inviting impression. A couple of discreet repairs on the driver's seat. The sunroof works fine and so do the front electric windows. At the time of documentation, the rear ones were not working, but the owner was going to address that issue immediately. Furthermore, unsurprisingly, the AC is out of order, but the regular heat and ventilation are blowing well.
-
Exterior condition
Older repaint with some visible unsuccessful filler at the left rear bumper end and a couple of small paint chips with surface rust at the edge of the sunroof and by the rear window. However, it is presentable from a distance and does not embarrass itself. Older tires with dry cracks, mostly at the front, on classic Mercedes accessory rims and an original baroque rim as a spare wheel.
-
General condition
A cost-effective patinated overall impression and a very nice car for the money. But also a large engine that needs a bit of care.

Facts about the model
The interior came in various finishes, including fabric, plush, and leather. As always, Mercedes emphasized safety, and the W116 was considered a very safe car for its time. The 280 SE's injection system initially featured D-Jetronic but was soon replaced with the simpler K-Jetronic system.
The W116 model remained in production until 1980, with a total of 473,035 units manufactured. Of these, just over 1,300 remain in Sweden today.
