1969 MERCEDES-BENZ 280SE CABRIOLET

Mercedes-Benz’s elegant Paul Bracq-designed W111 made its debut in 1959 and was produced, in its many variations, through 1971. Among the most desirable variations were the two-door models—the 280 SE Cabriolet and Coupe—which were expensive, virtually hand-built automobiles hailing from the great tradition of German craftsmanship. The acres of wood trim throughout the interior were all genuine solid hardwood, accented by the gentle use of brightwork. The upholstery was thick and comfortable, and both the ride quality and handling were (and continue to be) superb. Unsurprisingly, these cars rapidly became favorites of international socialites and celebrities, and they were frequently seen cruising in all of the world’s most posh destinations. Just less than 1,400 280SE Cabriolets were assembled from 1968-1971. Their rarity, performance, handling, craftsmanship are all blended perfectly into a design that has become iconic. It is no wonder why the 280SE has become one of the most recognized classic Mercedes-Benz models sought after by collectors today.

The 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Cabriolet featured here is finished in stunning Moss Green with a new Cognac leather interior and a brown convertible top. This 280SE was previously owned by the same family for over 30 years and was originally from Southern California. The data card copy on file confirms that this example is still propelled by its numbers matching engine and automatic transmission while the odometer displays only 85,167 miles. Nearly $200,000 was invested, which resulted in a 17-month restoration that included an all-new leather interior, fresh chrome, and bright work, a gorgeous paint job in factory correct Moss Green, vibrant refinished woodwork and much more! Simply put, this 280SE Cabriolet is one of the best-restored examples that can be found on the market today. We are proud to offer this gorgeous example to the most astute collector, investor or enthusiast who appreciates the legendary status of the Mercedes-Benz 280SE.  Classic cars have proven to be among the most resilient and rewarding investments in recent years with the Historic Automobile Group Index (HAGI) jumping 39% in 2013, 16% in 2014 and 17% in 2015 while posting gains of 467% over the last 10 years.

1886 BENZ PATENT MOTORWAGEN REPLICA

A stunning recreation of this iconic motor vehicle

Built to the highest standards

Presented in new unused condition

“This engine – velocipede will make a strong appeal to a large circle, as it should prove itself quite practical and useful to doctors, travellers, and lovers of sport.”

In such vein did the German Press report the first faltering run of Carl Benz’s fragile three-wheeler Motorwagen, little appreciating at the time that they had witnessed the first successful run of the internal combustion-engined motor car – a device which was to change the pattern of history.

The three-wheeler featured a rear-mounted horizontal engine with the vertical crankshaft, belt primary drive and final transmission to the rear wheels by side chains, all mounted in a tubular chassis. The 984cc internal combustion engine developed a then spectacular 0.9hp, giving a top speed of approximately 8mph, midst a veritable cacophony of sound, smells and not a little vibration. Today the Motorwagen may be considered primitive in the extreme but Benz’s Patent of 29th January 1886 was indeed ‘state of the art’.

The original car was donated to the Deutsches Museum in Munich by ‘Papa’ Benz in 1906. This has enabled a limited series of working replicas to be manufactured with considerable accuracy. This is one such, built in Yorkshire, England, it has never been used.

Attractively presented with dark green framing and ironwork, varnished wood platform and wooden toolbox and a plethora of brass fittings, this is more than just a fabulous exhibition piece but is capable of being made to run, with care. Operating instructions offered with the vehicle should be carefully read and adhered to before emulating Benz’s first faltering run in 1886.

The soft top is in good condition with slight signs of wear over the years of use. This car has only been used in dry weather so the top has rarely been used!

Another positive to this being a late model R107 is the benefit of the very sort after shape with the newest available technology at that time. Therefore all the electrical components work beautifully and the automatic gearbox is smooth and runs seamlessly through the gears.
