Restored 280CE

Only imagine the cost of the Mercedes parts and the cost of the restoration?!

In saying that the 280CE looks like a brand new car.

Sorry Tim it is a brand new car. Well the body shell is it has never been on the road. While restoring his car owner bought brand new body shell. Saw it last night.

New body shell which has never been on the road.

The cost of the body shell?

That is one superb 280CE!

10500 Euros but it would have been NOS (New Old Stock).

This raises the question of whether MB still has a few W116 shells in their vaults...

Yes I was thinking that after reading add.

Someone should ask......
