Summary
This rare 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3. 5 Cabriolet, one of only 1,232 produced, underwent a comprehensive four-year refurbishment including a repaint in its original Light Beige and a Parchment leather interior. The fuel-injected 3.5-liter M116 V8 received extensive valve work and a new timing chain in 2016, while its four-speed automatic transmission was also rebuilt.
More details
The five-digit odometer shows 44k miles, though the selling dealer believes it has rolled over.
