Summary
This one-family-owned 1975 Mercedes-Benz 280S shows fewer than 29k miles and boasts unique provenance, having been acquired new by the current owner's father as a gift from Werner Niefer, former Chairman of Mercedes-Benz. Its 2.7-liter inline-six and four-speed automatic transmission were refurbished in 2018, and it recently received a $2,800 service for fluids, battery, and AC. Notable condition issues include non-functional central locking and a shut heater valve due to climate control faults.
