Among the best-looking Coupe designs of the 1960s, the two-door, pillarless version of Mercedes-Benz’s W111 Saloon was styled by Paul Bracq. Only current from November 1967 – May 1971, the 280SE model was powered by a 2778cc fuel-injected straight-six engine allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission. Faster than its 300SE predecessor, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 120mph. Of the 3,797 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Coupes made, just 150 or so are rumoured to have been UK supplied when new.
