Seller's comments about 1970' Mercedes-Benz Se Series

Delivered new to Bielefeld, GermanyCompletely verifiable historyAlways registered in GermanyIncluding the original cardboard cover letterIncluding the original service bookletAutomatic lever near steering wheelRadio Becker Grand PrixBeautifully preserved original interior1 of only 1232 factory convertibles builtEspecially as an elegant convertible, there is hardly a comparable vehicle that offers as much at a similarly high level as the 280 SE 3. 5-liter Cabriolet. First of all, it is a very rare and exclusive, largely hand-built Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet, with only 1, 232 units built. Secondly, it is a fast and reliable touring car that can still be driven smoothly in traffic today. And it is one of the few convertibles with five seats.This car we are offering was ordered in 1969 by a Bielefeld entrepreneur from the local Mercedes-Benz dealer Kirstein & Sauer and then registered on April 15, 1970.The car was factory-fitted with extras including:46/ 2 Rear fog light 49. 95 DM51/ 6 Radio Becker Mexico 666. 00 DM53/ 1 antenna automatic 249. 75 DM61/ 6 fog lights 138. 75 DM63/ 0 belted tires 58. 83 DM67/ 3 Larger battery 29. 97 DMIncluding these extras, the list price was a proud 38, 544. 75 DM.The original factory color was “light ivory” 670.After 1. 5 years, the first owner sold the car to a well-known shipping company and shipyard in Bremen.In 1979, after eight years in the company's service, the shipowner took over the car privately and kept it in his possession until 1988. Thus, the car had one owner from 1971 to 1988 and, due to the transfer from company to private ownership, two registered owners.The third owner, a fashion entrepreneur from the Stuttgart area, kept the car for 26 years until he sold it to the predecessor of the current owner in 2014.The service book is well maintained and has 17 entries over the decades, 12 of which were made by authorized Mercedes-Benz workshops.The car was registered in Germany throughout its entire life and was always in good hands. Accordingly, it is in very good original condition, as evidenced by the excellent original interior.The hoods and doors close perfectly and effortlessly, as you would expect from good, unrestored Mercedes-Benz vehicles.About 25 years ago, the car was repainted in plain black 040 by its third owner, which harmonizes very well with the dark red interior.The car drives extremely well. The engine runs very smoothly and powerfully, and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly.
