My grandpa had a 280S.....my dad can recall him being highly dis-pleased with its unquenchable thirst for fuel.....  He went from a 220 diesel to a 280S....I imagine that was quite a shock. Though, he only kept his cars for 1-2 years, as a lead paint dept supervisor he could get a new MB practically every year with heavy discounts back then.
My dad got to drive it a few times though, and said it could FLY on the autobahn! (and you could literally see the tank needle move while at high speed  )
