  • For the buyers who were in the market for a convertible in 1971, there was no finer choice in the world than the 280 SE 3.5 cabriolet. It was the fastest, most lavish, and most expensive convertible offered by Mercedes-Benz, arguably the finest automobile manufacturer in the world at the time, making this a very special automobile indeed.

    The 280 SE 3.5 appealed, then as now, to those who appreciate the finest things in life, and the car more than lived up to those expectations, The top-of-the-line model offered a brand-new 3.5-liter V-8 engine. This propelled the car to 60 mph in under 10 seconds and could achieve a top speed of 130 mph. Inside the car, passengers are treated to the level of understated elegance that one would expect in a car of this caliber and financial investment. Burled walnut dashboards and sumptuous leather seating ensured that the passengers not only drove in style but in utmost comfort.

    The magnificent 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet featured here is finished in gorgeous and highly sought after medium blue metallic over the dark blue leather interior and matching folding convertible top. This exquisite US-delivered 208 SE 3.5 Cabriolet is one of only 802 produced and comes fitted with all available options including factory air conditioning. Meticulously maintained from new and driven a mere 36,133 miles, accompanying this investment-grade example are its original owners’ manual maintenance booklet, original brochure, data card, and tools. This example checks all the boxes! Incredible breathtaking condition, low miles, and elegant and highly desirable color combination make this the perfect 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet to add to any premier collection. I personally believe the investment potential of this iconic handbuilt motorcar will grow beyond your imagination. Incredible opportunity to own one of the very best investment prices, for the most demanding collector investor enthusiast who appreciates low miles and superior condition.

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
