Description
This is a very handsome and, above all, highly original Mercedes-Benz W111 280SE. The car was originally delivered new in the United States and has been in the Netherlands since 2020. The car runs well and looks beautifully cared for. Another notable point is that the car is equipped with the much-loved manual transmission.
The bodywork of the 280SE looks superb and is in very original condition. The sheet metal is nicely thin and the gaps are correct. The paintwork is in very good condition and looks beautifully cared for. The bumpers and lighting are also in very good condition and are all original. The car rides on the original wheels, fitted with the original hubcaps and good tyres in the correct sizes. Finally, it is worth noting that this is a car equipped with a factory-fitted sliding sunroof.
The interior is also very original. The seats are finished in beautiful brown leather and good carpeting. The mahogany on the dashboard is in good condition as are the instruments and controls. The headlining and the upper dashboard are also in original condition and look good.
The mechanicals have recently undergone extensive servicing. A number of components were also proactively replaced to safeguard the good condition of the mechanicals for the future. The engine is the robust M130 unit. It is 2. 8 litres and develops 160 hp. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission that features fine gear ratios and shifts smoothly. The brakes and suspension were thoroughly serviced during the major service and perform as you would expect.
The invoice for the latest major service is present with the car. In short, a superb W111 Mercedes-Benz 280SE with the beloved manual transmission and the highly desirable steel sliding sunroof.
