Originally intended as a modern replacement for the curvaceous W128 series, the W111 series Mercedes-Benz spanned little over a decade. Despite its long model life, these designs would introduce lasting innovations, like crumple zones.

This restored 280SE 3.5 Coupe is finished in a stunning colour combination: Arabian Grey on red leather. For enhanced drivability, it has received a 4.5-litre M119 engine; the original matching engine comes with the car as well.
