This Listing Is A 5 Day No Reserve Auction



The 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5 - the period equivalent of today's S-class - is perhaps the best and most attainable example of Stuttgart's golden-age greatness.


On modern roads, surrounded by modern cars, a 4.5-liter 280 SEL is something of an enigma. It's that rarest of beasts - a big, old sedan that simply doesn't feel that old. The light, stiff doors shut with an endlessly solid, safelike whong that echoes a little through the interior. The fuel-injected V-8 lights off after a moment of cranking and then settles down to a smooth, almost imperceptible idle. Switches and latches feel heavy and substantial; the dash-mounted, key-shaped headlight switch chunks into position like a household circuit breaker. The stark interior is an exercise in restraint, a sparse combination of short-loop carpet, thin pillars, and unapologetically simple, well-trimmed surfaces.




It's an odd reminder that the word "luxury" once meant something very different to Europeans - it was more of a mind-set about build quality than an endless supply of deep-pile carpet and butt-massaging seats. And 48 years 107,000 miles later this 1972 4.5 sedan still turns heads everywhere it’s driven and has not lost A ounce of class instead it has become One of Mercedes is iconic sedans but if you’re in the market for one of these cars you already know this so enough of the history of the car let’s talk a little bit about the condition
