KEY FACTS

  • A luxurious classic presented in outstanding condition, thanks to a very recent restoration.

  • The car was specified with a sunroof, and also features front and rear headrests.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

  • Finished in the classic colour scheme of silver over red, this is a handsome 280 SE, which has recently been refinished inside and out.

  • The cabin features front and rear headrests, and a Becker Europa stereo.
  • Its interior has been fully reupholstered in red leather, including for the door armrests.
