Mercedes-Benz's elegant Paul Bracq-designed W 111 made its debut in 1959 and was produced, in its many variations, through 1971. Among the most desirable variations were the two-door models—the 280 SE Cabriolet and Coupe—which were expensive, virtually hand-built automobiles hailing from the great tradition of German craftsmanship. The acres of wood trim throughout the interior were all genuine solid hardwood, accented by the gentle use of brightwork. The upholstery was thick and comfortable, and both the ride quality and handling were (and continue to be) superb. Unsurprisingly, these cars rapidly became favorites of international socialites and celebrities, and they were frequently seen cruising in all of the world's most posh destinations. Just less than 5,120 280 SE Cabriolets and Coupes were assembled from 1968-1971. Their rarity, performance, handling, craftsmanship are all blended perfectly into a design that has become iconic. It is no wonder why the 280 SE has become one of the most recognized classic Mercedes-Benz models sought after by collectors today.The stunning 280 SE Low-Grille Coupe featured here is finished in gorgeous Arctic white over light Tan leather interior, fitted with many desired options such as center console automatic transmission, factory air conditioning power windows, and more. This magnificent 280 SE was restored with no expense spared and is among one of the finest examples to be found in the market today, although we don't know the exact cost of the restoration from my experience, I would estimate it to be much more than our asking price. Incredible opportunity to own one of the best!! Offered to the most astute collector investor or enthusiast who understands and appreciates a world-class restoration. Ready to make an investment you can actually enjoy?

Financing

Finance rates as low as 5.9%.

We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.

We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.

Terms available up to 144 Months

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us,

* Rates vary depending on year of car, length of term and credit score.

Daniel Schmitt & Co. is a proud sponsor of M.A.D.D.

Please Read Before Bidding

Vehicle may be sold by our dealership before the end of auction.

Daniel Schmitt & Company has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and we recommend that the potential buyer fly out to inspect, as well as test drive any of our vehicles before finalizing their purchase. If it is not feasible for you to personally perform an inspection, we will gladly help facilitate an inspection by an independent service center of your choice and will make delivery arrangements of the vehicle for this purpose. All vehicles are sold in “AS IS” condition. Extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please be advised that no verbal statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of said vehicle. Our goal is to provide you with the best service and buying experience as possible. All purchases include an additional $385 processing fee which covers the processing of paperwork, pre-vehicle delivery costs, Fed Ex shipping fees, and a 30-day temporary registration plate so that the vehicle can be driven prior to the title transfer. (ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please be aware that you will be responsible for the Federal Reserve fee(s) charged for all incoming wires).

In regards to winning bidders and Buy It Now customers: All winning bidders and Buy It Now bidders are encouraged to fly out and personally inspect the vehicle. If you deem the vehicle is not as represented upon personal inspection, we will not only refund your deposit, but will also reimburse your airfare at the cost of a coach ticket. Feedback must be left at the time of delivery upon final inspection.

Pertaining to non-e Bay winners: Anyone who has provided a deposit but whose purchase is still pending, please note that said vehicle will not be held and is subject to being sold at any time until all contingencies are removed and the purchase order is signed.

The advertised mileage represents the actual miles when the car was posted online. These vehicles are test-driven and actual mileage may vary at the time of sale.

Condition Disclaimer

All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. We do not manufacture our product. Each vehicle's brand has its strengths, styles, tendencies, and shortcomings. Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle's mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer's workmanship or a previous owner's diligence in care of said vehicle. Due to this reason, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”. There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied.

Daniel Schmitt & Co. reserves the right to end the auction at any time.
