Comments of this past auction
Technik: Ab März 1971 gab es einen 280 SE 3.5 und einen 280 SEL 3.5. Der Motor des Typs M 116 war ab 1969 im W 109 (Modell 300 SEL 3.5) angeboten worden. Der V8-Motor hatte 3,5 Liter Hubraum, 200 PS (147 kW) und war der erste Mercedes-Benz mit elektronischer Saugrohreinspritzung (Bosch D-Jetronic). Der 280 SE mit Sechszylindermotor war auch weiterhin erhältlich, während der 280 SEL zugunsten des Achtzylindermodells aus dem Programm genommen wurde. LG Tom
