1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL 4.5 Sedan

The well-preserved 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL 4.5 Sedan boasts an impressive provenance, having been meticulously maintained and refurbished by the current seller since acquiring it on Bring a Trailer in May 2021. This elegant German sedan, originally sold in Highland Park, Texas, showcases its timeless design with distinctive features such as a long hood, squared-off roof, and upright rear end indicative of the legendary W108/W109 platform. Under the bonnet lies a robust M130 4.5 litre inline-six engine, renowned for its smooth and powerful performance. The seller has spared no effort in bringing this classic Mercedes up to par, undertaking work such as rebuilding the ECU, recharging the air conditioning system, installing PerTronix electronic ignition, and addressing various ancillary components including the radiator, distributor, timing chain tensioner, idle control valve, fan, central locking system, and more. Despite these attentive care efforts, this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL remains an enticing acquisition for vintage car enthusiasts seeking a driving classic that combines luxury with robust German engineering, situated at the heart of its original country, the United States.
