This is a very beautiful and above all very original Mercedes-Benz W111 280SE. The car was delivered new in the United States and has been in the Netherlands since 2020. The car drives well and looks beautifully cared for. What is also striking is the fact that the car is equipped with the beloved manual transmission. The body of the 280SE looks beautiful and is in very original condition. The sheet metal is nice and thin and the fits are correct. The paint of the car 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 is on the original wheels with the original hubcaps and good tires in the correct sizes. Finally, it is good to mention that this is a car that is equipped with the sliding roof from the factory. The interior is also very original. The seats are equipped with beautiful brown leather and good carpets. The mahogany on the dashboard is in good condition as are the instruments and controls. The headliner and top of the dashboard are also in original condition and look good. The technology has recently been subjected to major maintenance. A number of items have also been replaced preventively in order to guarantee the good state of the technology for the future. The engine is the indestructible from the M130 generation. The engine is 2.8 liters and produces 160 hp. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission with fine gear ratios and smooth shifting. The brakes and chassis were thoroughly overhauled during the major service and therefore function as you would expect. The invoice for the last major maintenance is included with the car. In short, a beautiful W111 Mercedes-Benz 280SE with the beloved manual transmission and with the highly sought-after steel sliding roof.
