1968 Mercedes 280SE Coupe

Description

Mercedes-Benz model nomenclature in the 1960s is difficult to follow once the tailfins disappear. The W108 and W109 family of sedans can mostly be recognized by the grille and front fenders from the 1961 W111 design, with cathedral headlights in the European versions, which were replaced by vertically stacked 5-inch lights in the U.S.

Mercedes-Benz's 250 series replaced the 220 and 230 six-cylinder models, and served as the company's sensible sedan, with subdued design, leatherette interior, durable construction, and decent performance.

Between 1967-1971 a total of only 3,797 280SE coupes were built making this a very rare car. This 1968 280 SE is in exceptional condition. No expense wasspared in restoring it to new condition.
