The 280SE 3.5
Mercedes-Benz has upgraded the W111 280SE with an optional 3.5 liter V8 engine
A final model was added in August 1969, the 280 SE 3.5, Mercedes' first post-war coupe with more than 3 litres. The car was equipped with the brand new M116 3499 cc V8. It produced 200 hp (150 kW) at 5800 rpm and a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph) (205 km/h (127 mph) with automatic transmission) and a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) at 9 .5 seconds (11.5 for the automatic transmission). As one of many changes to modernize the aging design, a lower, wider grille was incorporated and the facelifted model is often referred to as the "flachkühler" by the Germans. The new grill was not a side effect of enlarging the engine compartment to accommodate the V8, despite popular belief. The front and rear bumpers were also modified with the addition of rubber rubbing strips; the rear lenses have been changed to a flatter, cleaner design. This change was carried over to the standard 280 SE. As a top-of-the-range model, the 280 SE 3.5 is seen as an ideological successor to the W112 300 SE, although it lacked the air suspension of the W112.
There were plans to put the larger M117 V8 engine in the W111 (the model would be called 280 SE 4.5).
The last 280 SE was produced in January 1971 and the 280 SE 3.5 ended in July. Total production over the decade was: 220 SEb - 16,902, 250 SE - 6,213, 280 SE - 5,187 and 280 SE 3.5 - 4,502 units. Excluding 3,127 W112 300 SE models, the total number of 2-door W111 models was 32,804, of which 7,456 were convertibles.
This Mercedes Benz presented here was delivered in Paris and is therefore a real European car. Color brown metallic with a white/beige leather interior. Furthermore, the car has an open roof and the manual gearbox with 4 gears. The mercedes already has air conditioning and that makes this great car a lot more enjoyable as a travel car. It includes maintenance bills from Kienle (at € 25,000) and from Mercedes-Benz itself. A beautiful 3.5 L
