- THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This lovely example of the Mercedes-Benz 280SE coupe was purchased by the seller in San Francisco in 1999, immediately attracted to its classic beauty and signs of its hand-built construction.
Residing in California for the last three decades, very little is known about the car's early history. Several years before the seller acquired the car in 1999, it had received a full exterior repaint to the ivory finish you see today. Under its current ownership, this 280SE was lovingly driven until it was placed into storage in 2008 where it has remained untouched. The seller states that regular maintenance was completed on the car during its years of use. It should be noted that the fuel pump and fuel injection system will need to be evaluated and repaired for the car to run properly, and that the bodywork shows some corrosion in areas.
This 280SE is elegantly optioned with ivory paint over navy blue leather interior and hand-crafted wood interior trim. Fitted with Mercedes largest engine offered for the model run, the 3.5 liter V8 supplies 200 bhp to the wheels and is equipped with Bosch fuel injection and 4 wheel disc brakes. Showing signs of nearly 50 years of road use, this honest example is presented in unrestored condition with the potential for continual driving or restoration. The 280SE 3.5 coupe epitomized an era of luxury, performance, and design for Mercedes-Benz that many consider the pinnacle of the legendary automakers Golden Era to date.
