This Mercedes-Benz 280 SE has the 3.5-liter V8 under the hood that is good for 200 horsepower and, according to the factory, takes the car to 100 mph in 9 seconds. Nice numbers, yet that's not what most people are first interested in. It is the mesmerizing appearance of this gentleman's coupé where all the attention is focused. The light blue paint and white leather interior make this coupé a real sight to behold. The white steering wheel with the chrome horn ring, the Mercedes-Benz hubcaps in the paint color, the windows that leave no B-pillar after opening, the elegant shapes of the rear window, the classic shift lever (as it should be: on the center console and not behind the steering wheel). The car does not incite a sprint to 100 km / h; its character is that it invites you to stroll leisurely and stately. The automatic transmission operates the smooth V8. And for maximum pleasure, be sure to open the large sliding/tilting roof.
