1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Cabriolet One of 1,390 examples produced, this W111 Cabriolet is finished in a beautiful color combination, Midnight Blue (904), with Blue leather upholstery. Equipped for the U.S. market, factory options include Electric Window Lifters (236), U.S. Version (491), and Outside Left Rear View Mirror (503), reflecting a well-specified example of Mercedes-Benz's hand-built flagship open car. This 280SE Cabriolet has benefited from a high-quality cosmetic restoration carried out by a respected local specialist, including a complete repaint, a full leather interior, and refinished wood trim on the dash. The Midnight Blue paintwork is in stunning condition, complemented by excellent gaps and panel fit. Exterior highlights include stacked headlamps, twin exhaust, a Blue soft top and boot cover, and brightwork throughout. The Blue leather interior has been reupholstered, including the front and rear seats, door panels, rear panels, German carpeting, headliner, soft top, and boot cover. Amenities include power windows, Behr air conditioning, and a Becker Europa AM/FM radio with power antenna. The VDO instrumentation has been detailed, cleaned, and serviced, featuring a 7,000-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, a water temperature gauge, and an oil pressure gauge. The 14 x 7 Mercedes-Benz Classic Bundt Design Alloy Rims are mounted to Hankook Kinergy ST 205/70 R14 tires (date code 2025). Powered by a 2.8-liter M130 inline-six cylinder engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels with a hydraulic disc/drum brake system. Mechanical care was entrusted to German Motorcar Service in Santa Monica, California, for the past three decades, and European Collectibles has recently serviced it. This 280SE Cabriolet represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored, well-maintained W111 in a very desirable color combination, well sorted and ready to enjoy.
