Frame-off W111 3.5 V8 Coupé, Cond. 1, A/C, red leather
Frame-off W111 3.5 V8 Coupé, Cond. 1, A/C, red leather
For sale is an exceptional 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupé from the W111 series – one of the most elegant and sought-after Mercedes-Benz coupés of its era.
The 280 SE 3.5 is regarded as the flagship model of the W111 series, combining timeless design, luxurious long-distance comfort and the effortless performance of the refined 3.5-litre V8 engine. With its elegant coupé body, fine chrome details and the particularly attractive colour combination of silver-grey metallic with a red leather interior, this vehicle presents itself as a stylish grand tourer with outstanding collector appeal.
This particular example was rebuilt to a very high standard as part of an extensive frame-off restoration. The result is an exceptionally well-kept vehicle which, according to the available appraisal report, has been rated as condition class 1. The bodywork, mechanical components, interior, engine bay, underbody and boot all present themselves in an impressive overall condition.
This is a truly outstanding vehicle that stands out due to its largely original sheet metal, doors and bonnet. The restoration was carried out to the highest standard of craftsmanship currently achievable. The panel gaps are uniform and authentically finished. Transitions and body edges have been executed with great precision. Special care was taken to preserve as many original parts as possible, or to replace components only with original parts where necessary.
The current odometer reading is 9,211 km.
The coupé is powered by the highly desirable V8 engine with 3,459 cc and 200 hp. In combination with the automatic transmission, the car offers exactly the kind of smoothness, power delivery and elegance that make the 280 SE 3.5 so special to this day.
The vehicle’s specification is equally attractive. In addition to the red leather interior, the coupé is equipped with BEHR air conditioning, an electric sunroof, power steering, four electric windows and a classic Becker radio. This combination offers collector-grade quality together with a high level of comfort and a specification that is particularly desirable for a W111 3.5.
The vehicle is offered at EUR 219,000 negotiable. The asking price reflects the exceptional restoration quality, the rare specification, the condition class 1 appraisal and the overall presentation of this highly collectible Mercedes-Benz classic. Serious enquiries are welcome.
This Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupé is aimed at buyers who are not looking for an ordinary classic car, but for a rare, expertly restored and stylishly specified collector’s vehicle in exceptional condition.
