Model History
As the W 111, the Coupé and Cabriolet initially featured the same sedan model 220 SE as 220 SEb / C. In contrast to the previous model, the coupe based on the unabridged frame-ground system of the associated sedan and was thus a full four-seater. Coupé and sedan also have many similarities in style, but could not be used by the raw components of the four-door not a single for the coupe or convertible. For coupes and convertibles four times as many parts were made by hand as for the sedan. These C models were the last largely handcrafted Mercedes, which is why the price of coupes and convertibles was almost twice as high as that of sedans
Another externally recognizable facelift was the W 111 from 1969 with the introduction of the 3.5 -liter V8 engine with 200 hp, as the front end got a flatter bonnet and a lower grille. The models were then distinguished from then on the (unofficial) designations "high cooler" and "flat cooler". The Coupe 280 SE 3.5 with the eight-cylinder engine M116 is a coveted vehicle of this series.
Description
Fantastically original and very well equipped Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 liter W111 low grill coupe from only 4th owner and in a rare, elegant color combination of horizon blue with dark blue leather.
This coupe even still has some of its first paint on it. An expert was unable to discover any corrosion damage on either the body or the underbody.
It is very rare to note that this is a largely unwelded and unrestored original vehicle; only the US side and license plate lights have been removed and their holes closed.
The overall condition of the chrome parts can be described as very nice. The first strips and seals in beautiful original condition are still installed in the window area. Even the glas itself is still the first.
The dark blue genuine leather interior is also largely original and in exceptionally good condition, only one panel of the driver's seat and its lower seat appear to have been replaced.
The wooden trim parts in the area of the dashboard and the air conditioning can be described as being in above-average condition and are also original.
All switches and buttons on the control instruments work perfectly,
just like the air conditioning and the steel sunroof.
The trunk floor is free of any corrosion and is covered with an original rubber mat.
The engine and gearbox are in remarkably good condition and their originality could be determined using their numbers, making this a "matching numbers" car.
This coupé is completely Germanized: the speedometer and counter show kilometers, headlights and additional lights have been converted for use of the coupé in continental Europe, the side marker lights and the license plate lighting have been professionally removed.
New investments were made in maintenance services, replacement of numerous rubber bearings on the vehicle axles, the steering gear is sealed and the air conditioning system was overhauled.
A report from 2019 shows a replacement value of EUR 150,000,-.
