I am selling my 1972 Mercedes 280SE 4.5 litre, and this video is a good indication of any issues that may be present. cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBa... docs.google.com/file/d/0B0k68...
that was my first mercedes bot in 1973 new and i thought i will keep it forever but within 6 months or so one of the double over head cam broke and even before that i had to add a few quarts of oil to the engine because the valve seals allowed oil to ,leak. i had to sell it.
I have an SEL LWB 1971 half-year version in silver sitting in storage and I hope to get her on the road soon. By the way, is that the original Becker radio?
