Title: New member with 280S
Post by: Wessel Badenhorst on 14 August 2018, 08:18 AM
Hi all

I am a new member with a recently purchased 280S.

Where can I find a pdf copy of the owners manual as mine is lost.

Thanks!

Wessel

Welcome!

You can find the owners manual on this site. Upper right corner is Library.

They are also often available on ebay.

That looks pretty mint! Has it been restored? Whereabouts in SA are you?

Thanks!

Its Silver Green Metallic color code 861

Unrestored 146 000 km on.

Plans currently are mechanical correction - new rear shocks, fresh brake fluid, new tie rod ends and so on.

Seek out member "s class" (Ryan) in Pretoria I believe.  He is the "W116 whisperer" there in SA ;)
