1972 280 SEL 4.5
question for any 1973 SEL 280 owner
you would think it would be an easy question but i cant find anyone who knows, not even the local dealer. Does a 1973 280 SEL 4.5 have one key that opens all (ignition, doors, trunk, glovebox) or two, one for ignition an doors, and one for trunk/golvebox? i have only one, and it wont open trunk/glovebox.

update: ordered a master key from the local mercedes dealer. $23 down the drain, doesnt fit any of the locks. all they said they can do is send it back with my ONLY working key to fort worth and mercedes will check it out. hmm.

I assume this is a W108? My W111 (predecessor to 108) has a key for locks and a key for ignition. An owners manual will confirm.

It should have 2, one for valet, but I think over years and ownership, people just assume a valet key is defective and chuck them. mine was supposed to have a valet key but both worked for everything.
