History of the series

The model series began in 1961 with the 220 SE Cabriolet, followed by the 250 SE Cabriolet in 1965 and the 280 SE Hochkühler Cabriolet in 1967. After the model update from 1969, it was completed by the 280 SE Flachkühler Cabriolet and the 280 SE 3.5 liter Cabriolet. 

Only 1,390 of the 280 SE Cabriolets were produced between 1967 and 1971 in two different variants - the high and flat radiator versions, which differed only in the height of the front end.

Thanks to its low number of units and solid engineering, this model is a real collector's item with appreciation potential. At the same time, however, it is also one of the few family-friendly convertibles available on the classic car market.

The vehicle is located in our showroom in Stuttgart-Plieningen, close to the airport/trade fair. A test drive and an inspection on the car lift are possible by arrangement.

The sale takes place on request with new inspection, service and TÜV. We also offer a wide range of accessories for your new dream car. If required, we can also deliver the vehicle to you in a closed trailer.
