I now realise that the distance between the headlight and the wheel arch is too short to be a [W 108] and that the double bumpers point towards a [W 114] 250 or 280. I also found out today that the stem of the inside rear view mirror became black from MY 1971. On all models. Therefore I, too, would say that this is a 1971-73 Mercedes-Benz 250 or 280 [W 114]. (The [W 114] 230 had a single front bumper.) -- Last edit: 2025-12-10 10:48:12
