1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Cabriolet for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Cabriolet is a used car showing 89,786 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Dunkeloliv with a Cognac interior.

Its Dunkeloliv paint is a solid dark olive that the dealer rates as perhaps the finest dark colour for a W111, and the car keeps the tall grille of the six-cylinder cabriolets built before late 1969. It is described as superb and original, repainted once by a specialist, with matching numbers confirmed by its data card.

It comes from an enthusiast living in the historic heart of Amsterdam, who bought two 280 SE cabriolets in 2000 so that he and six friends could go on holiday together. What follows is seen in the photographs: cognac leather with a matching hood cover, and whitewall tyres on chrome-capped wheels.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Cabriolet uses the 2,778 cc M130 straight-six with Bosch mechanical injection, rated at 160 PS (118 kW), for 190 km/h, or 185 km/h with the automatic, with a four-speed manual or Mercedes-Benz's own automatic, driving the rear wheels. Paul Bracq's two-door body sits on 14-inch wheels, with disc brakes front and rear. Until late 1969 the six-cylinder cars kept the tall grille that enthusiasts call the Hochkühler.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 280 SE in the European market

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: Paul Bracq's two-door body sits on 14-inch wheels, with disc brakes front and rear. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

89,786 km recorded, against a median of 14,618 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 280 SE, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 280 SE be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Mercedes-Benz 280 SE still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Gallery Aaldering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the Netherlands?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Mercedes-Benz market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 280 SE, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
