OK, whilst rudely ignoring Guillaume illusive brochures and Ptashek's acquaintance( :)), I deduct:

manual 1
auto     7

W116John, and Guillaume.. what are your cars?
BTW.. there are countless members here, that DO come out of the woodwork at times.
Maybe this is the time?

I currently own :

- 6 280SE with automatic transmission (all floorshift)

- 1 280SE orignally delivered with manual transmission but converted into automatic transmission (floorshift)

- 3 350SE with automatic transmission (2 floorshift and 1 column shift)

- 1 350SEL with automatic transmission (floorshift)

- 4 450SE with automatic transmission (3 floorshift and 1 column shift)

No 280's or 350's, but...

2 300SD - automatic floor shift
2 450SE - automatic floor shift
2 450SEL - automatic floor shift
2 6.9 - automatic floor shift

The two column shift columns that I have came from early 450SE's, but every W116 that I have personally ever seen in a junkyard, including 280's and a couple euro imports (around 20 total) had automatic floor shift.

I think we can get to 100 cars... please keep posting!

Here in South Africa, only the 280S, 280SE and 350SE were supplied.

I have seen a lot of cars, and it was quite common for 280S to be manual.  On the contrary, it is very unusual to see manual shift in 280SE or 350SE.

I have at the moment (including parts cars):

280S manual : x2
280S auto : x1
280SE manual : 0
280SE auto : x3
350SE manual : 0
350SE auto : x2
6.9 auto : x2

I considered that question.
When we reach 100, I will do the stats on the whole line of engines, maybe even keep going from there.
So yes, please list all cars with all transmission types.

gavin116

Here's a list of owners so far.  List assumes all manual cars to date are 4 speed.  Also assumes floyd111 has 3 280Ses, and that UTn_boy has 2 280Ses.  Is this correct?

floyd111

? You were listed as having 3 cars, and your answer is "yes, 280 S and 280SEL?"

UTn_boy

I thought Gavin was asking specifically about the 280 models I had.  I do, in fact have 3.  two 280 models, and a 450.  My apologies on the confusion.
