W108 instrument cluster and W114 tail lights $950 collage

What you see in the photo, all of it:

W108 instrument cluster complete - speedo (MPH, 9,934 miles indicated - genuine), fuel/temp/oil gauge, VDO clock with working second hand, all bezels intact, glass intact, no cracks in the housing
Second cluster (the one with the LSDNR auto position window) - W108/W109 auto cluster variant, also complete and tested
Pair of W114/W115 tail lights - amber/red chrome surrounds, both lenses intact, no UV haze, perfect condition

$950 the lot. Not negotiable. Not splitting. Buyer takes all three items.

Reason for the price: the MPH speedo alone is worth $600+ to anyone restoring an Americana-spec W108 (very few in Australia). The LSDNR cluster is worth $300 to anyone with the auto. The W114 tail lights are worth $200 the pair. So $1,100 worth of parts for $950 the lot.

Buyer must take all three or wait until I list seperately later. Right now I'm clearing the shed.

Arncliffe pickup, cash on the day. I can post if you pay the freight.

Thanks

Spiros - to support what you've described, the W108 instrument cluster you have in the upper-left of the photo is the MPH variant fitted to Americana 250S / 280S / 280SE sedans 1965-1972. The bezel script and gauge layout are correct for the period. The second cluster with the "LSDNR" auto position indicator is from a W108/W109 with the K4A 1965-1971 four-speed auto - the indicator window in the centre of the speedo is the giveaway.

The W114/W115 tail lights in the lower-right are the pre-1976 variant (with the smaller chrome trim - the post-1976 lights have a thicker chrome surround).

$950 for the lot is fair, in my assessment. I am not in the market for these specific items but I will refer two members from MCDA who might be.

Spiros - one of my MCDA referrals (Andrew Tomaras, restoring a 1968 280SE Americana-spec) will take the lot at $950. He'll PM you tonight. Cash on the day, he's in Vaucluse and can collect Saturday.

The W114 lights will sit in his garage as spares - he doesn't have a W114 but they're worth keeping at $200 represented in the package.
