In August 1965, a new generation of S-Class was introduced (W108 / 109), distinguished in particular by its more restrained stern, which lost its pointed rear wings, giving it a more elegant and timeless look even today; from a technical point of view, the engines were modernised and their cubic capacity increased.
At the beginning of 1968, the 250 SE and 300 SE models were replaced by the 280 S and 280 SE, with a new 2.8-litre 6 cylinder engine developing 140 bhp in its carburettor version (S) and 160 bhp with fuel injection (SE); this generation of S Class received many variations and was a great success until September 1972, when it was replaced by the W116.
Our example was sold new in Italy, initially as a carburetted version; Mr E.
