Images of w108 and w109 vehicles

This page is meant to showcase some of the examples of 108 and 109 MBs I have found over the years. If I have included your vehicle on this page (or site) against your wishes, please contact me so I may remove it. The same goes if you would like me to add images of your vehicle. The only qualification is that it must be a high-quality image of a 108 or 109 chassis Mercedes Benz. The nicer the vehicle (or picture), the more likely I will be to use it!

I will add images to this page as I recieve them, and as I find enough throughout the web to add to the page. Keep an eye on it!

1965 250S Euro RHD
One of the earliest 108 chassis built (#1820 of the RHD chassis), note the euro lights and lack of US-spec turn signal lenses. 1965 250S Australia-delivered.

1966 250SE US
Another earlier 108 chassis, this 1966 250SE is US-speced. Note the US headlights (twin-beams) and the round, earlier "Beehive" turn-signal lenses. Presumably still in the USA. Note the lack of side markers.

Early w108 280se back
A shot of the back of a euro-spec 280SE. Note the "Automatic" script and euro plate light. A very large and artistic shot.

1969 300SEL 6.3 US
A US-Spec 300SEL 6.3. Note the one-piece hubcaps in contrast to the US-spec 1966 above it. Still with beehive turn signals. See the addition of side markers.

300SEL 6.3
This 300SEL 6.3 is a euro model fitted with US-spec clear corners. The headlights, if stock, would have amber corner lenses.

280SE Euro-spec RHD
A 280SE, RHD (presumably in the UK) with the stock euro twin-headlight setup. Note the amber corner lenses the 6.3 to the left lacks.

1970 300SEL 6.3 US
A US-spec 300SEL 6.3 from 1970. Note the switch from beehive front turn signal markers to the larger, faux-fog lights. Much easier to see, and IMHO more attractive.
1971 280SE 4.5 
The back of a US-Spec 280SE 4.5. This model has the US-spec plate lights (contrasted to the Euro 280SE above).
1972 280SE 4.5
My 280SE 4.5. Note the front grille guard (very rare) and the "Bundt rims" on the front wheels. Named Quicksilver, she's more than a bit rusty.
280SE m130 engine
A 280SE m130 engine.
4.5L M117
A 4.5L m117 V8. Very similar in appearance to a 3.5L m116 V8 (save blue-green, instead of yellow injectors, and a barely noticeable wider stance)
6.3L M100
A 6.3L m100 V8. This engine is from the euro-spec green 6.3 shown above. A tight fit under the hood of a 109!
