1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Cabriolet 4-Speed

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE is a European-market cabriolet that is finished in Papyrus White over burgundy and equipped with a four-speed manual gearbox. It was reportedly imported from Germany to California in 1981 and was acquired by the selling dealer in 1998. Power is provided by a fuel-injected 2. 8L inline-six, and the interior and convertible top were reupholstered in 2011. The exterior remains finished in factory Papyrus White (717G) and comes equipped with a set of Hella driving lamps and fender-mounted rearview mirrors. The black convertible top was reupholstered in 2011, and a burgundy boot cover accompanies the sale. Factory 14� wheels wear a set of body-colored hubcaps and come wrapped in Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires. The seats were reportedly re-trimmed in 2011 with burgundy leather, at which point a replacement carpet was also installed. An under-dash air conditioning vent remains installed, though the air conditioning system is disabled and the other components have been removed. VDO instrumentation includes a 7k-rpm tachometer and a 220 km/h speedometer, which flank vertically-oriented temperature, oil, and fuel level gauges.
