Good E280 estates seem to do everything well. They are easy to drive, smooth & quiet, and the six-cylinder engine is unobtrusive. That may make them sound bland but they're not - they just get on with the job and allow you to relax and enjoy the drive. There's plenty of engineering depth to appreciate if you want to, from the accurate steering to the beautifully damped ride, or you can ignore the car and treat it like an appliance. Either way, they work well

This E280 is in good condition with excellent black leather interior. It's a 7-seater estate so has 6 seats with three-point seatbelt plus a centre rear seat with a lapbelt. It has both sunroof and air-conditioning. It comes with a Pioneer CD/ Radio with bluetooth connection for phone.

It has been fitted with an aftermarket remote alarm that works on the blip so remote locking and opening.

We purchased it from a wealthy Russian businessman in Notting Hill where it has spent the last 15 years being well looked after and used. It was bought to keep. The bodywork is fair with no rust but it does show the marks of a city car with scratches and dings and one small dent under the drivers door mirror. So it has patina. If you want a concours car then look elsewhere, if you want a great looking car with loads of character that will outlive you and your children if you look after it then this is for you. I know from much experience that pulling up to a nice hotel in one of these garners much more acceptance and respect than a modern leased ‘executive’ car everyone knows you don’t own. This is a real car everyone says great things about. And it’s just so nice and comfortable and powerful to drive.

There is no rust on the bodywork apart from a tiny bubble by the rear tailgate lock. All the wings and window frames are rust free as is the sunroof surround.

Most importantly everything works, the windows, sunroof tilt and slide, ice cold aircon, tailgate soft close. How many ads do you see where there is a list of things not working. And commenst like “oh but the aircon just needs regassing” – really? Well why not regas it and sell it then, maybe because the evaporator has gone which is a dash out job to fix £1500 later. Everything works on this car as it should. We would think nothing of driving this down to the South of France (if we could now ?) today. Nothing to do, check, service. All done.

On the road this is a smooth-riding E280 which makes short work of the narrow & bumpy Essex lanes and which cruises well on A-roads and motorways. A W124 Estate makes a good town car as well. Visibility is good and the huge amount of steering lock available - much more than a front wheel drive car - makes parking easy

There is a comprehensive history file for the car and we have spent £1800 since purchase on various servicing items - invoice included.

Is it perfect? no not by a long way and I know from many years living with classic cars, no car is ‘perfect’ and chasing perfection is a fools errand. This is a lovely usable classic Mercedes with much patina but no rust, driving as it should and great tyres and alloys. As a usable car it’s difficult to beat. Oh and black on black is the colour to have, but you know this if you are reading the ad.

We are only selling as we have another higher mileage estate we are restoring and can’t keep two.

History: Service history with service book and invoices
Colour: Blue-Black metallic

In March 1962, Mercedes-Benz released the exclusive two-door M189-powered 300SE. Like the 300 saloon, it was based on the W111 chassis but shared both Daimler's top-range 2996 cm3 fuel-injected engine and the unique W112 chassis designation, efforts on Mercedes' part to distance it from the maker's modest W110 and W111 ...
