Selling a 1971 Mercedes Benz 280SE Cabriolet

 

Priced at $14,509 in 1971, the 1971 Mercedes Benz 280SE Cabriolet was designed to capture a wider audience for the German automaker’s brand. First unveiled at the 1969 Frankfurt motor Show, the 280SE was built on the W111 platform and its unit-body construction offered uncompromising stiffness not seen in other convertibles at the time. During this era, Mercedes offered a 2.6L 160 horsepower inline-six and a 200 horsepower 3.5 liter V8. The 3.5L was certainly the most favored. Modern reviews of the 280SE Cabriolet often describe the car as a “tank,” referring to its uncompromising build quality and stiffness, as well as its sheer size. The fully independent suspension (double wishbone in front) offered smooth ride quality that couldn’t be matched by other car companies for over a decade. The Mercedes 280SE Cabriolet would be the last four-seat convertible offered by the company until the E320 Cabriolet would be released in 1992. One of the most sought-after automobiles ever produced by Mercedes, it is easy to understand why.
