Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car. in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight. in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree. West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and simply stunning example of this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL Long Wheel Base (W108. 019 Series) 2. 8L 160HP 6 Cylinder Sedan (built only between the dates 1/68-4/71. with this particular car being built in 8/1970) and obviously always coveted and always garaged and covered with no signs of any accidents and owned until recently by a long time owner with all recent service records kept methodically in a thick file showing that at no time was any expense spared on this particular vehicles preventive maintenance!
