1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Coupe

Description

The Mercedes-Benz “W111,” designed by the renowned Paul Bracq, made its grand entrance in 1959, captivating automotive enthusiasts with its timeless elegance. Over its 12-year production run, this iconic model was built in numerous variations, with the two-door models always the most sought-after. Finely crafted with genuine solid hardwood trim, tasteful brightwork, and plentiful amounts of leather combined with the most advanced engineering of their period are the hallmarks of the model. Of course, any vintage Mercedes is more than a stylish automobile, with praise for their good handling and robust drivetrains a certainty. Today, these cars remain as collectible as when they were new and highly prized as a usable and stylish classic.
