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W112 models were modernised; the 220SE was superseded by the 250SE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 the 250SE was superseded by the new 280SE.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. This change was carried
across the standard 280SE.

This delightfully handsome Mercedes-Benz is a lefthand drive
example. finished in grey with black leather trim. The seats on
these stylish cars are supremely comfortable- almost armchair
like.

Fitted with air conditioning and a sunroof. these coupés are
realistically priced. given the stratospheric cost of the 280SE
convertibles. Supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT
test certificate valid until 12th September 2015 within the history
folder. this is a splendid example and one for the
future.
