AI Listing Summary
This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL 4.5 sedan has benefited from over $92k in recent mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment by Canepa. It features a desirable Astral Silver Metallic exterior, Dark Blue leather interior, and the potent 4.5-liter V8 engine with Bosch fuel injection, making it a compelling classic offering.
Condition
9
The car underwent significant mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment by Canepa in 2024, with over $92k in invoices. The body was refinished, new tires were mounted, and documentation from the work is available. While not explicitly stated as 'pristine,' the extensive recent refurbishment and the low mileage (60k miles) suggest it is in near-perfect condition with only minor signs of use expected for a classic car.
