Mercedes-Benz 280

280e

The 280E was enormously popular, thanks largely to the sweet 6 cylinder being equipped with the Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system with air volume control (first seen in the 6.9 litre monster 450SEL).

The car had all the style and grace of the larger "S" class cars, but with a much more appealing price. And the optional sunroof was a pearler, employing an automatic wind deflector.



The 280E came standard with 4 wheel disc brakes, electric windows, power steering and could be optioned with cruise control, fog lights and central locking.

They are not particularly collectable, but a well cared for example will provide a high class drive even by todays standards.
