This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 4.5 is finished in Metallic Red over Parchment MB-Tex upholstery and is powered by a 4.5-liter M117 V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes a Becker Europa AM/FM radio, wood interior trim, air conditioning, a rear window defroster, and power windows. The car is said to have remained in California with its prior long-term owner before being acquired by the seller in 2019 and subsequently relocated to Virginia. Work performed under current ownership reportedly included refurbishing the radiator and heater as well as installation of replacement tires.
The car is finished in Metallic Red (571) and features dual mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, and a chrome grille, trim, and bumpers. Paintwork under previous ownership reportedly included refinishing the sides of the body and replacing and repainting the trunk lid.
Factory 14″ steel wheels wear polished hubcaps with body-color centers and are mounted with 195/75 Hankook Optimo H725 tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features Parchment MB-Tex-upholstered seats joined by matching door panels as well as a black dashboard, wood trim, and red carpets. Additional equipment includes a Becker Europa AM/FM radio, a floor-mounted gear selector, air conditioning, and power windows. The seats were reportedly reupholstered under previous ownership, and recent work is said to have included refurbishing the heating system.
A three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a clock, and a combination gauge indicating fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 21k miles. The seller states that the odometer has rolled over.
The 4.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 195 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque when new. The seller reports that the radiator was refurbished and an oil change was performed in December 2020.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission.
