Model history
The Mercedes-Benz W114/115, also known as the "Strich-Acht" (Stroke Eight), marked an important step in the history of Mercedes-Benz. For the first time, safety features such as crumple zones and disc brakes were introduced in a mid-size car. The coupé variants, such as the 280 CE offered here, were considered particularly elegant representatives of the series. With its 2.8-litre inline six-cylinder engine combined with an automatic transmission, the car combined superior performance with the typical Mercedes comfort of the time.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Ein erstklassiger Wagen wird 50! Mercedes Benz 280er mit M110 Motor! Was im April 1972 in Hockenheim präsentiert wurde, war ein echtes Novum aus dem Hause Daimler-Benz. So wie man die neue Hinterachse des /8 im Stuttgarter Jargon als „Diagonal-Pendelachse“ bezeichnete, um die leicht antiquierte Achse der 1972 abgelösten Baureihe - W108 und 109 - nicht zum alten Eisen abzustempeln, war auch hier Understatement angesagt. Was als 250E/8 oder 250 2,8 in den neuen KFZ- Briefen stand, hatte es in sich. Mit einem Hubraum von 2717 cm³ hatte man dem neuen 280er, der parallel als Limousine und Coupé präsentiert wurde, einen Doppelnocker namens M110 spendiert. Mit halbkugelförmigen Brennräumen für optimale Verbrennungs-abläufe. Die Ölkrise war noch nicht abzusehen und so war auch hier das Gebot der Stunde optimale Abgaswerte mit der D-Jetronic zu erreichen, der Verbrauch war eher zweitrangig. Wer schon einmal einen 280CE mit D-Jetronic gefahren hat, weiß, dass die Zuverlässigkeit und die Beschleunigung für damalige Verhältnisse erstklassig waren. Auch wenn es heute vergessen ist, weil die Preise für den Porsche 911 im Gegensatz zum Mercedes Benz 280 CE geradezu astronomisch sind. Die Fahrleistungen der 280er als Einspritzversion waren dem 911 T aus Zuffenhausen ebenbürtig. LG Tom
