According to the available data card, this Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 convertible was manufactured in April 1970 and was then first delivered to the USA. The original color scheme was metallic grey-blue (color code 906) with a leather interior (code 245) and blue soft top. The car still bears this extremely attractive and elegant color scheme today. The factory equipment included a Behr air conditioning system, electric windows and a Becker radio. The vehicle remained in the USA until 2014. From the mid-1980s, information on the maintenance history is available from specialist workshops in California. Between 2006 and 2007, the car underwent a comprehensive restoration and refurbishment for which a sum of USD 50,000 is quoted. In the course of this, the paintwork was renewed. The leather interior including carpet and the zebrano wood trim as well as the soft top were also renewed.

The convertible came to Germany in 2014 and has had three owners to date. Almost 20 years later, everything is still in a very well-preserved and perfect condition. The body has clean gaps with tight-fitting doors and hoods. In addition, the trim and add-on parts fit perfectly. The paintwork has a fine structure with a beautiful shine. The chrome trim is complete and very well maintained. Overall, this example conveys a high-quality impression both inside and out, which is also due to the low mileage since restoration. The engine is still the original unit and therefore "matching numbers". The engine compartment and the ancillary units make a solid and well-maintained impression. The same applies to the underbody and the chassis. There are various invoices for service and minor maintenance work from recent years as well as the latest MOT reports. Thanks to its outstanding technical and visual appearance, this flat radiator cabriolet is an excellent example for lovers of the dignified elegance of Mercedes. It makes for relaxed driving and enjoyment and is particularly suitable for the whole family for longer trips and journeys.
