History
Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet
The Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet represented the pinnacle of German automotive luxury in the early 1970s, with each car hand-built by Karmann. The new M116 V8 engine provided effortless power while maintaining the marque's legendary refinement and build quality. With prices exceeding that of a Rolls-Royce and only 1,232 cabriolets produced, these were cars for the international elite. The combination of V8 power, air suspension, and impeccable construction quality made them the ultimate expression of Mercedes' engineering philosophy and remain highly coveted collectibles today.
