My grandfather owned one and a jag 3.8 mk 2. When we used to go on holiday to cape town from jhb driving in those cars was a total highlight. As an 11 year old. can still remember the smells of the cars. Lovely!!
Your W 108 in the Horizon Blue is a stunning beauty! It looks like the new owner will thoroughly enjoy this car. There is something to be said about that German Engineering!!
I have owned a 1973 280sel 4.5 for 45 years and they are a beautiful driving car. One finger on the bus size steering wheel at 125 MPH all day long .A wonderful team built car, very under appreciated in North America. Well worth a look at if a classic Mercedes is on your radar. No disappointments, if you can find a good one. Extremely undervalued.
Had 2 of them through the years, the 4.5 is a must! Still have a stash of parts since they are gaining value and/or if I ever get another one, it could go either way.
Interesting and nice car. I too have a W108 28O SE (1969/70) in the same colour, Horizon Blue. There is some money to be spent in that interior but the parts are at least available. Strange that it is a handful over 50 MPH - W108’s are very stable cars. Check the damper that sits above the differential- very likely worn or broken. A new one makes a world of difference.
I would love to have one , are they not to difficult to keep ? Friend of mine has one as a daily driver ! I would like to do that my self . Yours is beautiful !! Thank you !!
@@TABonTV Let the guy know if he needs anything for his 108 I come across a lot of decent used parts and not silly money. Im in California and would be happy to help a fellow Brit:) Cheers John.
