Finding a 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Low Grill Sunroof Coupe with a floor-shift transmission and finished in factory correct original two-tone White and Dark Red (DB 542) over an entirely restored Red leather interior. Only 613 W111 “Heckflosse” (fintail) coupes were produced with the tried and true 2.8L inline six cylinder engine and this is believed to be the only one that left the factory in this unique two-tone livery. It’s arguably as rare as W111 coupes come! The steel wheels with Rechromed and repainted Benz caps as delivered from factory give a wonderful accent to the stunning combination and help meld the beautiful color combination together.
- Exceptionally RareWhile not a concours show car, this rare example has always been lovingly cared for and could serve reliably for another 45 years as a very presentable weekend driver or as an excellent original base for a continued total restoration. This Car is a Local Car show winner and Cars and Coffee crowd pleaser. Considering their rarity and the astronomical prices that their Cabriolet and 3.5 Coupe brethren fetch, W111 Coupes have long been undervalued in most classic car enthusiasts’ minds. Finding “Low Grill” W111s is hard enough as it is, but finding a rare European version, with unique correct colors and desirable options is perhaps an irreplaceable opportunity.
