In the summer of 1965. Mercedes-Benz launched its new
replacements for both W111 and W112 saloons. the W108 and W109
respectively. In a bizarre twist of fate. this car's design was
based on the W111 coupé but widened and squared off as the fintail
fashion was quickly fading by the mid 1960s. However. both W111 and
W112 models were modernised; the 220SE was superseded by the 250SE
which featured the new 2. 96cc engine. producing 150bhp at 5500rpm. br/>giving it a significant improvement in top speed. Visibly. the
changes only affected the new 14" rims with new wheel trims; this
was to accommodate the larger disk brakes and the new rear axle. In
November 1967. the 250SE was superseded by the new 280SE. Inside. br/>the car received wood veneer on the dashboard and other minor
changes. A final model was added in August 1969. the 280SE. 3. 5
litre. It was fitted with the brand-new M116. 3. 99cc. V8 engine
with 200bhp at 5. 00rpm. a top speed of 130mph and a 0-100 at 9. 5
seconds. To accommodate the large engine. the car's front grill was
widened and front bumpers were modified.
THe condition of this example should be seen. the meticulous owner
has spared no expense in the preparation and presentation of this
car. Indeed. as a collector of some note. his attention to detail
is well known. The engine and drive train was removed recently and
a significant amount was spent on a complete rebuild of the
mechanical elements. The paintwork. in lustrous black. dates to a
slightly earlier restoration and the interior. in keeping with its
age and condition. has been left in its original state to enhance
the quality and patina of this most elegant of coupés. It also
benefits from electric windows. power-assisted steering and a
factory sunroof. the coveted 3. 5 litre engine. br/>this great-looking car not only looks superb. but is in fantastic
order under the skin and is reported to drive faultlessly.

Interested parties should note that further details will
be available shortly.
