Final hours for this sweet time capsule. This pristine family-loved Italian 108 is easy to live with and fun to drive, giving way more luxury vibes for your money than most other cars.

Some people suggest Rec fuel (My mechanic recommends that in my 1980 280TE) but this one seems to like Premium.May 11th, 2026 at 9:19am EST1976w123 (1) 0@tcstraker what kind of gas do you use ?May 10th, 2026 at 7:14pm ESTtcstraker (20) Seller 0@relishthat @bd450sl thanks for getting the ball rolling!May 10th, 2026 at 1:15pm EST$4,500 bid placed by @BD450SLMay 10th, 2026 at 10:23am ESTthembmarket (691) 0A new photo has been added to the gallery. May 10th, 2026 at 8:07am ESTzachmac (157) 0@tcstraker Thank you for the quick response. Storage for many years and then recommissioning sounds more plausible if the miles are correct. As I stated initially, whether 70k KM or 170k KM it is a nice example. GLWAMay 10th, 2026 at 8:02am ESTtcstraker (20) Seller 0@zachmac No, the records don't support 93 miles per year. I believe the car was in storage after the grandfather died and before the grandson took over his labor of love recommissioning it in 2016. Even so, I guess I apologize that I'm missing your point....even if the car wasn't in storage, low mileage happens. In my broader collection have a special low mileage SL I've owned for 42 years that receives only 150 miles per year, so there are obsessive collectors out here. In this case, I think the Benz was waiting for the next family member to get through kids, career, and life commitments before spending time and money on a family heirloom.May 10th, 2026 at 7:42am ESTzachmac (157) 0@tcstraker Maybe I didn't communicate well. I see that in 1986 it had 70k KM (~43500 mi) and here we are 40 years later claiming it has only been driven 6000 km (about 3728 miles) in the intervening 40 years. That would be an average of only 93 miles a year. So, my question again is do the receipts or record from 1986 to present show that very gradual progression of milage?May 10th, 2026 at 7:33am ESTtcstraker (20) Seller 0@zachmac the previous owner included a receipt showing 70k in 1986 (I reattached from paperwork, so for 40 years, yes there is proof). I cannot attest to the miles driven from 1967-1986 in Italy, but can only imagine one wouldn’t go to the expense of shipping a high mileage used car to the US in 1986. But no documentation of early years, other than how clean the car is overall. So bidders can bid based on 40 years of records, not 59 years of records.May 10th, 2026 at 6:34am ESTzachmac (157) 0@tcstraker So you believe this car was only driven about 6000 km over the last 40 years? Does the "mountain of paperwork" receipts support that? Don't get me wrong, nice example either way.May 9th, 2026 at 3:00pm ESTtcstraker (20) Seller 0A note about condition, imperfections, originality, and improvements: Condition: The car was professionally painted while in Italy in 1986 and the paint presents well. The previous owner did clay bar and paint correction, and took care of some surface rust repair in the cowl area, and I did some surface rust repair from chips and road rash on the rocker panels, jack points, and steel rims. The undercarriage has some surface rust, but nothing crazy. No rust under doors and no rust on floors or in the trunk. Imperfections: The front bumper is misaligned a bit on the drivers side creating a crooked grin, the bumper rubber has a few gashes on the corners front and back, there is some surface rust under the front bumper, and some patina surface rust on undercarriage. Inside there is small nick in the MB-Tex in the middle rear seat that can be easily repaired, the wood on the dash has been refinished but could use another sand and varnish. Rubber trim around the shift lever is loose. The clock doesn't work, and the KmH speedometer sometimes bounces. Originality: I believe glass, carpet, upholstery, wood, dash, headliner, gauges, Becker Europa radio, and trim are all original. All the above show the right amount of perfect patina. No sags in headliner and seat cushions are strong. Heat and blower fan (new original fan which is expensive and hard to find) are strong. Power antenna works. I believe the three point seat belts were added at some point early in the cars life. Improvements: There has been over $20K of mechanical and cosmetic improvements over the last three years. All receipts included. Oil was recently changed.May 9th, 2026 at 2:46pm ESTtcstraker (20) Seller 0@relishthat I agree! May 9th, 2026 at 2:42pm ESTRelishThat (1) 1So simple and beautiful.
