The Mercedes 280 W114 debuted in the 1973 model year, replacing the model designated 250 2.8. It was powered by an inline M110.921 engine, which, fed by a Solex 4A1 carburetor, was capable of generating 160 hp, transmitted to the rear axle. This made it possible to fully enjoy the dynamic driving experience and possibilities offered by the new fully independent rear suspension design that debuted on the W114/W115 models. 11.3 seconds to 100 and a top speed of 185 km/h is probably not the performance one associates with the silhouette most often associated with cabs on Polish roads years ago. But Mercedes has always given choices to its customers, so there have been some... the one on display comes from the second production series, distinguished by, among other things, larger rear lamps and wider chrome trim on the tailgate, the absence of triangular tilt windows on the front doors, larger mirrors and a safety steering wheel. The Mercedes 280 W114 second series was built between 1973 and 1976, and 25,000 were built, which, considering the nearly 2 million total W114/W115s, makes it a rare model.
