THIS… is a 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Coupe, finished in white with a red interior.
This 280SE is a European-market, left-hand-drive coupe currently titled in California. Reportedly imported in 1983, it’s equipped with a metric instrument cluster, and the five-digit odometer currently displays about 72,000 kilometers, which represents approximately 44,800 miles.
Documentation in the gallery indicates that this 280SE underwent maintenance in February 2026 totaling nearly $10,000. Notable services include replacing the A/C compressor and hoses, spark plugs, wires, caps, and rotors, and Becker radio, among others detailed below.
A partial list of notable currently installed equipment reported by the selling dealer includes 14-inch wheels, US-market headlights, disc brakes, a sunroof, and leather upholstery.
Often described as Mercedes-Benz’s final hand-built mainline production models, the W111 coupe and cabriolet were exclusive luxury grand tourers produced from 1961 through 1971. Related to the firm’s famous “fintail” sedans but clothed in elegant pillarless bodywork by Paul Bracq, they combined exceptional build quality with sophisticated engineering, including the pioneering use of crumple zones.
Power comes from a 3.5-liter V8, rated at about 200 horsepower and 211 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission.
