The Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupe offered here is one of the popular examples with flat radiator and the powerful V8. However, what makes this 280 SE really special is the perfect condition it is in. It is an unwelded original with Matching Numbers & Colors. The interior is adorned with the original leather, which as part of a restoration, was painstakingly refreshed. The attractive patina of the parchment colored leather has been preserved and reflects decades of history.

The 280 SE was restored at ROSIER with great attention to detail in the finest work, which is immediately apparent. Gaps, paintwork, interior and technology are in a condition that is in no way inferior to the delivery condition. A documentation shows the individual steps of the restoration.

The Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 Coupé was delivered to California and has been in Germany since 2015. The owners of the 280 SE put a lot of emphasis on care and maintenance to preserve its unique condition.

It runs very smoothly and is very pleasant to drive. If you work the throttle appropriately, you get immediate feedback from the 3.5 L V8. The long wheelbase and comfortable suspension make potholes and other bumps barely noticeable.

As a daily driver with a luxurious character and the very attractive color combination of medium blue metallic and parchment colored leather, this specimen is an absolute eye-catcher.

History of the series
------------------------

The Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 has always been considered the top model of the W 111 series, which was produced between 1959 and 1971. Both the convertible and the coupe are top class vehicles with style and elegance.

It took ten years before a V8 engine was installed in the W 111 series. With its 3499 cm³ displacement, this put an astonishing 200 hp on the road at the time. However, the car was not only optimized technically, but also visually. The front end was given a flatter hood and a lower radiator grille - which also gave rise to the designations "high & flat radiator".

The flat radiators (and thus also our W 111) are considered the most desirable variant today. These vehicles are also particularly valuable because of their low production numbers. Just 3270 of the 280 SE 3.5 Coupé were produced between 1969 and 1971.
