The Paul Bracq-designed Mercedes-Benz W111 was introduced in 1959 and produced, through many variations, through 1971. During that time, the 280 SE Cabriolet and Coupe were built, virtually by hand, in the great tradition of German craftsmanship. They featured genuine solid hardwood trim, with the gentle use of brightwork. The leather upholstery was luxurious and comfortable, and both the ride quality and handling were superb.
This particular Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Cabriolet has been in the care of several owners and currently shows 40,850 miles. The exterior has been repainted and the front seats and console have been reupholstered, both in the original factory colors. The car has a period radio and air conditioning options. The engine is a 2778cc SOHC inline six-cylinder unit fitted with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and offering 180 horsepower. There is a four-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted hydraulic disc brakes.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2016
