The seller offers this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet. One of the absolute top models in the classic Mercedes collection. Only 1,232 were ever built, making this model a rarity on the market. This sought-after Flachkühler grille is distinguished by its lower and wider design, which gave the car an elegant and modern look in its day. Under the hood lies the powerful 3.5 liter V8 engine coupled with an automatic transmission, good for a smooth and impressive driving experience. This particular example is also equipped with luxury options such as factory air conditioning and electric windows, which takes comfort to a higher level. The air conditioning needs technical work so that it can cool optimally again.
The appearance of this 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet is downright enchanting. The gold metallic paintwork forms a beautiful combination with the dark brown soft top, which makes the car look stylish both with the hood open and closed. The chrome and the classic hubcaps complement the classic design and underline its luxurious appearance. Inside, a dark brown leather interior awaits that, although provided with some traces of use, still exudes a warm and authentic atmosphere. The interplay between the gold-colored bodywork and the dark interior creates a timeless elegance that is rare. This car not only offers an exceptional driving experience, but also a visual feast for the enthusiast. The paintwork and interior have some traces of use here and there.
