They also came with the option of a 4-speed manual transmission which this example has & a better looking front end. The S-Class is a flagship luxury sedan & the nameplate "S-Class" officially started with this W116 generation in 1972. It was produced from 1972 to 1980 & was named the European car of the year in 1974. This 280SE was reportedly acquired at a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Germany in 1978-1979 & this original owner had it imported to the USA. It spent those initial 45 years under its 1st owner before the current 2nd owner acquired it in 2023, imported it from the USA to Canada and added roughly 1,000 km since. It was resprayed during original ownership in its factory color to give the car a refreshed look. The original owner also added an aftermarket cruise control unit which is said to work very well. It is equipped with factory air conditioning which will require servicing; the blower motor is reportedly strong. The cigarette lighter is in working order & useful for charging devices. It touts a 4-wheel independent suspension & disc brakes at all 4 corners for better stopping abilities. It is powered by a 2.8L M110 Inline-6 engine spinning the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission.
