That grille with bigger 'squares', makes this a 1968+, but I believe it has flat headlamp glass which points towards 1969+ and possibly headrests pointing even further to 1970+. This is thus at least a Mercedes-Benz 280 S but can also be a 280 SE [W 108]. Model year 1968+, or 1969+ or 1970+. -- Last edit: 2018-07-07 18:17:57
