This Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 'Sunroof' Coupe was completed on July 21st of 1970. When new, it was ordered with the sliding roof, Behr air conditioning, English instrumentation, automatic transmission, Becker Europa radio, and heat-insulated glass. In the 1990s it was given its first repaint followed by a full cosmetic restoration in 2015. It is finished in DB350 Blue paint and Saddle leather interior. The seats, Wilton carpets, burl dashboard, interior panels, weather stripping, lights, and chrome were returned to factory-new condition.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2018
