W116 280SEL for sale

[Oversize]

It's only a 280 and it's full of rust, yet people still want it! Looks like it'll sell for more than what 450s were going for not that long ago....

Considering the high prices for W116s and W107s in Europe (despite the worsening GFC) and the falling prices of later models (and cars generally), are values finally going up??

If the wheels are the real deal, surely they alone make it worth $500+ bux.
Wonder if he'll let me buy the wheels and leave the rest? lol
(I've already got 1 donor 116 rusting away......don't neeed another)

You buy it and I'll keep the body.
You can have the wheels. (I'm not that far from Campbelltown)

280SELs, of course, are quite a rare model - lwb, 280 engine, rear headrests and, I think, leather upholstery. Regarding the wheels - short of offending some (possibly), I don't really see them as being all that attractive and, in my view, don't really suit the 116 models. Regards Styria

I do like them and it's what drew me to the ad in the first place. It does appear the wheels aren't geniune, which raises a question about quality.

A 350SEL was on eBay in NSW somewhere recently - went for $850. Ran and on club rego, but needed work. Black leather interior - that alone would be appealing.

On the other hand, someone here in sunny Canberra has their 450SE listed for $5,600 or so. Average condition, including faded paint and 200,000+ kms. Dreaming.

Overall, I think values here remain low. Fortunately, I'm now out of space for both cars and parts
