I'm hoping it looks period correct, it looks nice to my untrained eyes :) June 16th, 2026 at 2:52pm ESTbenz_head (6) 0I suspect that a previous owner installed that. To my knowledge, no W108 ever had that radio. I've only ever seen it in W109s after 35 years of messing with these cars. The US W108 4.5 usually had the Becker Europa II. The Grand Prix was set up for an auxiliary source, which is probably the channel that you are using to add bluetooth. I am pretty sure that the Europa II did not have the auxiliary port.June 16th, 2026 at 2:34pm ESTDrkkrkn (29) Seller 1@benz_head headunit was the only thing I didn’t touch on this car I believe :) oh besides adding a Bluetooth module. Looks good though!

I didn’t think about picturing them my bad on an old car like this every single detail is highly important. Let me know if you have any further concerns or questions June 15th, 2026 at 6:19pm ESTthembmarket (691) 1Five new photos have been added to the gallery. June 15th, 2026 at 3:16pm ESTDrkkrkn (29) Seller 0@Piantanida48 appreciate it! Of course I do! I was the one who paid unfortunately lol. Pictures of the receipts in gallery, it’s a highly reputable local European specialist shop that services all my cars. And sure thing! The car is inside the garage right now I’ll turn the lights on and take a picture of the gauges. I will upload that picture shortlyJune 15th, 2026 at 3:15pm ESTPiantanida48 (1) 1Sorry, I saw the invoices. I have a 1972 280SEL 4.5 and I have it serviced by a special mechanic that only works on vintage Mercedes that require a different set of expertise than working on newer cars. I am fortunate to have a vintage Mercedes service facility. June 15th, 2026 at 3:09pm ESTPiantanida48 (1) 0Very nice example. Do you know who rebuilt the engine and did the other mechanical work? Can you add pictures of the car's lights, especially the front gauge light.June 15th, 2026 at 12:54pm ESTDrkkrkn (29) Seller 0 May2023 $6,774 Steering coupling Steering box power steering hose Radiator Radiator cap Fan shroud Valve cover gaskets Sunroof seals/sunroof adjust&lube Shifter bushing Shifter linkage May 2023 $4,000 Transmission rebuilt May2026 $25,298 Complete engine overhaul June 15th, 2026 at 12:50pm ESTDrkkrkn (29) Seller 0 Hello everyone, welcome to my reasonably reserved extremely well sorted W108 auction. I’ve acquired this vehicle back in end of 2022 it was in good running condition but as always I went above & beyond and ended up having one of the most expensive W108 SE’s :) whole body was painted at my friend’s shop about two years ago -towards end of 2024- while the engine and transmission was out of the car but they did a ‘friend’ quality job and didn’t paint the inside of engine bay and painted over a rust bubble on passenger side fender (in pictures and walk around videos). The transmission got rebuilt by a local transmission shop and The whole engine was overhauled by my friend’s shop that’s extremely reputable on European cars and the car is in great condition. AC works better than modern cars, all the power
