The W108 280S is where the Mercedes-Benz S-Class story really starts, and this example captures that classic luxury feel perfectly. Finished in elegant Cream White with colour-coded hubcaps, it presents very well – a solid 8/10 car. The body has had a blow-over respray while the side panels and roof lining remain original, giving a nice balance between preservation and refresh. Inside, the seats and carpets have been redone in period-correct style, complementing the dark dash and wood trim to create a very inviting cabin.

The 2.8-litre inline-six starts easily and settles into that trademark Mercedes idle, driving through a column-shift automatic that suits the car’s relaxed, upright character. With an indicated 35 333 km, this W108 feels tight on the road and reminds you why these cars built the Mercedes reputation for durability and comfort.

A timeless classic Mercedes-Benz, ideal as a stylish weekend cruiser and an excellent entry point into early S-Class ownership.
