The 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet offered here is an excellent example both aesthetically and mechanically. Having spent many years in private collection of noted Mercedes-Benz collector, Stuart Roffman, it received exemplary care.  In 2004, the Cabriolet was treated to a bare metal respray in its original color of Signal Red; the following year a correct leather interior was installed and the car was mechanically serviced, with all work performed by Mercedes expert Jim Cosgrove of Old Timer Restorations.

This lovely example features the desirable floor shift automatic transmission, Behr air-conditioning, power windows and a Becker Europa radio. The Mercedes is in excellent running and driving condition and has just over 85,000 original miles on the odometer.
