280 SE (W108) with **original **two-tone paint from the factory (UT 467 sand beige metallic, OT 040 black) with black leather interior (Code 241). According to issue No. 70 of the magazine "Mercedes-Benz Classic" from January 2025, in which the car is mentioned (page 86), in 1971 only 1% of all new Mercedes cars were delivered in two-tone paint. First registration on 23.04.1971 in Cannes (Southern France), therefore the car has never seen snow or road salt! No rust, no welding work! No accidents - all body lines as from the factory! The original leather is soft and shows only minimal signs of use, all chrome parts as well as the wooden parts are in beautiful condition. Anyone familiar with the W108/109 series knows how rare such an overall condition is!
