Mercedes-Benz’s elegant Paul Bracq-designed W111 made its debut in
1959 and was produced, in its many variations, through 1971. Among
the most desirable variations were the two-door models—the 280 SE
Cabriolet and Coupe—which were expensive, virtually hand-built
automobiles in the great tradition of German craftsmanship. The
acres of wood trim throughout the interior were all genuine solid
hardwood, accented by the gentle use of brightwork; the leather
upholstery was thick and comfortable; and both the ride quality and
handling were (and continue to be) superb. Perhaps unsurprisingly,
these cars rapidly became favorites of international socialites and
celebrities, and they were frequently seen cruising in all of the
world’s most posh destinations.
The 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Convertible featured here is finished
in stunning Light Ivory with a gorgeous Cognac Tan leather interior
and brown convertible top. A concourse level restoration was
recently completed and this Mercedes is now ready to be driven or
shown. It is equipped with many options including rare factory air
conditioning, full leather interior as well as its original books,
manuals, service records, build cards, warranty plate, tools and
much more. We are proud to offer what we believe to be one of the
very finest 280SEs that can be found on the market today. Classic
