1971 MERCEDES-BENZ 280 SE 3.5 CONVERTIBLE Chassis No. 110272003825 Engine No. To be announced Black with black leather interior Engine: V8, 3,499cc, 230bhp at 6,000rpm; Gearbox: four speed automatic, Brakes; hydraulic discs all around, Suspension; front, independent coil springs, rear, joint independent swing axle, coil springs. Left-hand drive. When Mercedes-Benz discontinued the 300 cabriolet and roadster in 1957, there was worry among Mercedes fans that there would be no "flagship" luxury convertible to carry the three-pointed emblem other than the two-seater SLs. But this worry was soon evaporated when the 220SE arrived in September 1961, a full five seater convertible powered by a 120hp straight six. This body style was conservative and eliminated the fins of earlier 220SEs. This model gradually progressed in power and luxury until it became the 300SE in 1965 with an automatic gearbox as standard. But the ultimate luxury Mercedes was not created until 1969 when the 230SE 3.5 coupe and convertible were announced. This model had an iron block aluminum head V8 used in the forthcoming 350SL. Mercedes did not bother to change the "280SE" designation though the new engine was indeed a 3.5-litre V8. The 280SE 3.5 Mercedes is highly prized among Mercedes enthusiasts for its high level of luxury - the wood and the leather work being reminiscent of earlier hand-made cars. The performance is also quite remarkable for a four-to-five-seater car, with a 0-60 mph time of under 10 seconds and a top speed of 125mph. Only 1,232 genuine convertibles were produced between 1969 and 1971. This car has been fitted with the newer factory chrome wheels, but the original wheels and hubcaps will be available to the new owner. The current owner purchased the car from its original owner in California where the car had been since new. The odometer records an original 69,000 miles. One of the best of its kind, this particular car was owned by (DG check) . It has received extensive restoration, including new paint, chrome, canvas top, leather interior, wood, exhaust and suspension. The engine and gearbox are untouched with 69,000 recorded on them. It was a trophy winner at the 1994 Dallas Concours d'Elegance.
