Vehicle Detail
This is an extremely rare European issued 1980 Mercedes 280 TE station wagon that was kept in amazing original condition with only 48,284 pampered miles.As you may know,production figures were very low for these cars,so this is truly an amazing find,especially in this condition.The original family kept this car in limited use because they thought it would be collectible some day. Today, there are indeed very few wagons this age on the road and they never look like this one. These cars were usually used up as daily drivers when new ,so many were beat up or thrown away,making this survivor even more unusual!The car was always kepty in the garage with no sun exposure,so all the small chrome and trim pieces are in brillant original shape.The original metallic grey paint is in exceptional shape for its age.There is no fading or cracking anywhere.The body fits togetrher perfectly with every original body panel from factory.The car is as straight as an arrow with almost no imperfections on the paint.There is absolutely no rust and has never been in any collisions.Numbers match throughout.The body is as "virgin" as it gets!The creme interior is as close to new as you can get,esecially for a 31 year old classic.All seats are in perfect condition with no rips or discolorations.The carpets are totally original and in beautiful condition,as well as the original door panels and crack free dash pad.Everything operates perfectly including the cold air conditioning.It also has the optional sunroof and original standard Becker radio/cassette.The car comes with the European bumpers and Euro headlights.The car has the original fuel injected inline 6 cylinder. The car runs and drives beautifully with no known fluid or exhaust leaks.Regularly serviced so the car needs nothing at all to take a long road trip in.What a great opportunity to own a super rare and very low mile one of kind station wagon that would make a great car for a collector or someone who wants a rust free survivor gem in amazing original condition.Not very often will you come across a fine unrestored original Mercedes Wagon and especially seilling to the highest bidder(NO RESERVE).Please don't miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a beautiful classic.
