Mercedes W108 Service Repair ManualsThe Mercedes-Benz W108 series premièred at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1965 with numerous models being produced from 1965 to 1972.

The initial 1965 model lineup consisted of three W108's including the 250S, 250SE, and 300SEb, with the 280S and 280SE replacing the 250SE and 300SEb models in November 1967. In January 1968, the 280SEL M130 engine model was introduced.

The 250SE M129 engine included a fuel injection system and delivered 152 hp at 5500 rpm, and top speed of 120 mph for both manual and automatic versions.
