Summary
This Euro-spec 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Coupe features a rare manual transmission and limited-slip differential, retaining its numbers-matching engine and factory sliding sunroof. Originally Metallic Beige, it was repainted off-white years ago, and the unrestored Cognac leather interior shows age-related wear including discoloration, minor cracking, and tears on the seats. The odometer reads just over 9,000 miles (believed to have rolled over once) and the car benefits from over $10k in recent mechanical updates, including a comprehensive overhaul of the suspension, fuel system, brakes, and clutch.
