1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL W108 (Manuals / 4 Gears) RWD (1968-1972)

The 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL represents the extended wheelbase (L) variant of the W108 series, offering 10cm more passenger space in the rear. This vehicle is powered by the M130 E28 engine, a 2778 cm3 Bosch Mechanical Injection Gasoline unit, which produces 160 hp / 158 hp/ 117.5 kW at 5500 rpm and a torque of 240 Nm at 4250 rpm. Although it is a SEL model, it retains the traditional W108 series spring suspension, avoiding the complexity of the W109 series air suspension. Equipped with 4-speed manual gearboxes, this luxury sedan achieves a top speed of 190 km/h , combining the prestige of a tall limousine with the direct control of a manual gearbox.
