The Mercedes-Benz W109 was produced from 1965 until 1972. The W109 was the long-wheelbase variant of the otherwise identical W108. The 280 SEL was powered by a 2.8 liter ‘M130’ six-in-line with 170hp, good for a 185 km/h top speed.  Transmission was a 4-speed automatic.

The W108/W109 was never officially exported to China in its days. This great yellow car likely arrived in China very recently. Most classic Benzes come to China from the US, sold by dealers on the US West Coast to Chinese dealers and collectors.
