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 top model of the W111 series and combines timeless styling, luxurious touring comfort and the effortless power delivery of the refined 3.5-liter V8 engine. With its elegant coupé body, fine chrome details and particularly sophisticated color combination of silver-gray metallic with red leather interior, this vehicle presents itself as a stylish grand tourer with high collector value.
This example was extensively and faithfully rebuilt as part of a thorough frame-off restoration. The result is an exceptionally well-maintained vehicle that, according to the available appraisal, was rated condition class 1. The bodywork, mechanicals, interior, engine compartment, underbody and trunk all present an impressive overall condition.
This vehicle impresses with largely original body panels, doors and hoods. The restoration was carried out to the highest standards of craftsmanship. The panel gaps are uniform and authentically executed. Transitions and body edges were finished with great precision. Particular emphasis was placed on retaining as many original parts as possible or, where necessary, replacing them exclusively with original parts.
The currently indicated mileage is 9,211 km.
The coupé is powered by the sought-after V8 engine with a displacement of 3,459 cc and 200 hp. Combined with the automatic transmission, the car offers exactly the effortless smoothness, power delivery and elegance that make the 280 SE 3.5 so special to this day.
This vehicle’s equipment is also particularly attractive. In addition to the red leather interior, the coupé features BEHR air conditioning, an electric sunroof, power steering, four electrically operated windows and a classic Becker radio. This vehicle therefore combines collector quality with a high level of comfort and equipment that is particularly sought after in a W111 3.5.
The vehicle is being offered at an asking price of €199,500.00 negotiable. The price reflects the exceptional restoration quality, the rare equipment, condition class 1 according to the appraisal and the impressive overall presentation of this collectible Mercedes-Benz classic. Serious inquiries are welcome.
This Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupé is aimed at buyers who are not looking for an ordinary classic vehicle, but rather a rare, high-quality restored and stylishly equipped collector’s vehicle in exceptional condition.
