The 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Coupe is a classic embodiment of German engineering and luxury. Featuring a 2.8-litre inline-six engine, it produces 160bhp, providing a smooth and powerful ride. The car boasts elegant design elements, including sleek lines, a distinctive front grille, and a well-crafted interior with premium materials. It comes equipped with advanced features for its time, such as four-wheel disc brakes and power steering. Known for its reliability and performance, the 280 SE Coupe remains a highly sought-after model among classic car enthusiasts, symbolizing timeless sophistication and automotive excellence.

This handsome example was registered in March 1968 and presents extremely well in black coachwork; which is complemented by a striking red leather interior. The vendor of this stylish pillarless coupe purchased the vehicle in October 1996 and is only the third owner of the car. During his tenure, the car has benefitted from a considerable amount of service work by various marque specialists including Roger Edwards, John Haynes and Steve Redfearn and some by a Mercedes-Benz main agent. These works have totalled over £13,000. We are informed that although rarely used, this classic Mercedes is a joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and although exempt from the requirement by virtue of age, an MoT test valid until February 2025 with no advisories. This reasonably priced example is ready for its fourth owner. Consigned by Dominic Lake.
