Selling A 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5?
The 1971 Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5, particularly the convertible, was a car that really defined the era. First debuted at the 1969 Frankfurt Auto Show, the 3.5 coupes & convertibles were a final launch in a long line of exceptional autos which started with the 220SE in 1961. The fact that Mercedes would not offer another four-seat convertible until 1992 with the E320 cabriolet only increased the draw to these cars.
It may come as no surprise that a high price tag also accompanied these models, and made finding and purchasing a 280SE 3.5 even more difficult. In total, the 1971 Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5 saw 1,232 cabriolets produced, with approximately 802 of those being exported from Germany to the United States. Well-known owners included Ralph Lauren and David Gooding. Whether it was the performance, the rarity, the reliability and practicality, or the unparalleled charm that drew you to the 1971 Mercedes 280SE 3.5, the team at Alex Manos knows that sometimes you have to sell.
