A proper entry into classic Mercedes-Benz ownership and one that can be driven and enjoyed from day one.
This 1969 W108 280SE might not be a factory-original show car, but it is a great runner that does exactly what it should. Recently serviced, she starts easily, runs well, and offers that solid, confident Mercedes drive these cars are known for.
Finished in a repaint that presents well overall, with some imperfections noted on the left front fender. The interior has been redone and, while not factory spec, is neat, clean, and perfectly usable.
The standout here is the manual floor-shift transmission not something you come across often on a W108. It completely changes the driving experience and makes this one a bit more special than your average example.
Mechanically sorted, cosmetically honest, and priced where it makes sense this is a usable, enjoyable classic that you can get in and drive without hesitation.
All paperwork in order.
Located in Shere, Pretoria East for viewings per appointment only.

★★★★★ - A True Sanctuary for Classic Car Enthusiasts
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wat Swaai Jy and was absolutely blown away. This isn't just a dealership; it's a museum where every car tells a story. From impeccably restored muscle cars to perfectly preserved European grand tourers, their inventory is diverse and of the highest quality.
What truly sets them apart is the expertise and genuine passion of the staff, not only about the mechanics and history of the vehicles but also about the provenance and market value. There was zero pressure—just honest, excited discussion about classic cars.
If you're serious about finding a rare, high-quality classic, or just want to spend an afternoon admiring automotive history, Wat Swaai Jy is the definitive place to go. A truly world-class operation.
