Convenience features include low-back bucket seats with curved headrests, power windows, driver-side rearview mirrors, a 2-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring, a Blaupunkt radio, an analog clock, door pockets, and a glove compartment. The dashboard is fitted with VDO instrumentation, including a 140-mph speedometer, offering a period-correct driving experience.

This 280SE comes with $44,480.90 in documented receipt copies from 2022 through 2025. The work began in July 2022 with extensive repairs on the interior floors, trunk, and rear quarter pockets ($10,111), followed by a complete interior and top overhaul with new tan hides, carpets, and a full roof package ($19,830). In June 2023, the car received a complete exterior refinish, including block sanding and a full repaint of the body, door jambs, and undersides ($13,000). Most recently, in January 2025, this classic vehicle was brought up to date with mechanical and electrical work, including a new battery, hazard switch, and light diagnostics ($1,538), ensuring proper operation of key systems.

The 280SE Cabriolet is among the last hand-assembled Mercedes-Benz convertibles of its era, built in limited production numbers with a high level of craftsmanship. These cars were significantly more expensive than their sedan counterparts when new, and today they remain sought-after for their combination of durability, engineering, and classic styling.

Whether you're a collector looking to add a well-documented example to your collection or an enthusiast seeking a classic convertible with factory specifications and recent servicing, this 280SE Cabriolet offers a balanced ownership experience with documented history and thoughtful upkeep, mechanically sound.
