Partly because the rear doors aren't long enough and partly because the lack of reflexions on the upper parts of the rear door frames. Whereas most cars could only be ordered in a few colours, Mercedes-Benz could be painted in an almost infinite amount of colours. I'd say this is eithet Beige Grey metallic (DB 728 by Herberts http://sterntwiete.mparschau.de/html/728_1.html ) or Astral Silver metallic (DB 735 by Glasurit http://sterntwiete.mparschau.de/html/735_1.html ). This is most likely a [W 108] 1968-72 Mercedes-Benz 280 S or 280 SE. -- Last edit: 2019-09-15 21:01:22

This is most likely a [W 108] 1968-72 Mercedes-Benz 280 S or 280 SE.
