1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupé Flachkühler for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupé Flachkühler is a used car showing 40,351 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Dark blue with a Brown interior.

It belongs to the last and strongest chapter of the W111 coupé, the V8 version known in Germany as the Flachkühler for its lower, wider grille. The car left the factory in dark blue with brown leather, the combination it still wears, and its chrome is said to be in lovely order.

A well-known Mercedes-Benz specialist has taken the whole car through a thorough recommissioning, and Gallery Aaldering judges it in very fine condition throughout. Its previous keeper owned it for close to twenty-five years, and the listing counts two owners in total.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupé uses the 3,499 cc M116 V8, with a single overhead camshaft per bank and Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection, rated at 200 PS (147 kW) at 5,800 rpm and 286 Nm at 4,000 rpm, and 210 km/h (205 km/h with the automatic), with a four-speed manual gearbox or an automatic, driving the rear wheels.
