Mercedes-Benz introduced the W111 in 1959 as a broadly-applied platform that would serve as a replacement for both the bread-and-butter Ponton sedans as well as the complex and expensive Adenauer coupes and sedans. The versatile chassis architecture formed the basis of everything from four-cylinder diesel taxicabs to luxurious air-suspended six-cylinder limousines. In 1961 the be-finned Heckflosse sedans were joined by the elegantly styled two-door coupe and cabriolet. The sedan s upright styling with somewhat awkward tail fins was a blatant appeal to the American market while the coupe and cabriolet featured more modern more subdued style that was considerably more timeless in appearance. The revised styling of the two-door cars was so well received that it would inspire the Heckflosse s replacement the W108 of 1965. The two-door W111 would outlive its finned four-door counterpart by several years continuing production through 1971.Handsome and luxurious these were the last truly hand-built Mercedes-Benz cars assembled with great care by the expert staff at Mercedes storied Sindelfingen works. The glamorous cabriolet and its elegant coupe sibling offered luxury paired with exceptional build quality; a Teutonic counterpoint to the opulent Rolls-Royce Corniche. A wide variety of engines would feature in the W111 but the flagship coupe and cabriolet were limited mainly to the refined and powerful inline six-cylinder petrol engines with an all-aluminum 3.5 liter V8 joining the range late in production. When equipped with the 2.8 liter Bosch-injected inline six the 280SE is a massively capable car; luxurious and comfortable with continent-crushing high-speed ability. In recent years the 280 SE has become one of the most desirable of all post-war Mercedes cars this side of the 300SL. Collectors have taken notice and these fine cars are cherished for their rarity quality style and performance.Benefitting from a recent high-quality restoration this 1969 280 SE Cabriolet is an impeccably presented example of Mercedes definitive luxury grand touring car. One of just 1390 open-topped 280 SEs built over a four year run this car is finished in its original and elegant color combination of Sand Beige (DB 467) over Dark Brown leather (248) with a complementary brown canvas soft top. The bare metal rotisserie restoration performed between 2009 and 2011 is beautifully finished with outstanding paint quality and crisp straight panels displaying excellent alignment and gaps. As part of the restoration the extensive chrome and bright work was removed and fully restored Fit and finish is exquisite as one should expect from a properly restored 280 SE. It rides on factory original steel wheels with color-keyed full wheel covers shod with Michelin narrow-band whitewall tires as is correct for the period.In addition to the body the interior has been fully restored with the upholstery wood trim and brightwork finished to a high standard. An original high-spec US market car it is equipped with numerous desirable options that include electric windows Frigiking air conditioning dual front arm rests and a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM radio with automatic aerial.

1969 Mercedes Benz 280 SE. The model was a great success during the years it was offered in the late 1960s and early 1970s often owned by people who required a vehicle for long distance travel. Road & Track gave it good marks for handling and reliability. It was built with four-wheel disk brakes, SOHC V-6 engine, responsive power steering and offered a four speed automatic transmission. A sedan which is very comfortable and a pleasure to drive. In the late 1980s and early 1990s I invested substantial time and funds in reconditioning the exterior of car using only Mercedes-Benz parts including fenders, rocker panels and bumper. In addition, the motor and differential were rebuilt; and suspension (springs and shock absorbers), radiator and other parts were replaced with genuine MB items. I had the car repainted in its original white. I have all invoices for both parts and labor, a shop manual and a general service book which are part of the offering. The transmission was replaced with a rebuilt one, but probably needs adjusting. Since that time the car has been driven only about 200 to 300 miles per year—less than 6,000 miles since major work. I had planned to reupholster the inside, but had to halt because of health considerations. But the natural woodwork is in pristine condition, and there is a new dash cover. I have owned the car since 1970, and it has never been in an accident. I had done the more expensive work before being forced to stop. Now the car awaits the final touches to be performed by someone who will value it as much as I have.
