Model history

In November 1967, the 280 SE replaced the 250 SE. Equipped with the new 2.8-litre M130 engine, it delivered 160 hp and offered noticeably better acceleration, especially compared to the larger but heavier 300 SE. The model was given a subtle visual and technical overhaul: new heating controls, door locks, a modified exterior mirror design, one-piece hubcaps, and optional wood trim in the interior gave the vehicle a more modern look.

    Guten Abend, habe auch so einen Flachkühler mit M130 Motor, auch weiß außen und innen Rot mit etwas mehr „Patina“, und ein langer Weg bis dieser auch Fahrbereit wird, müsste sehr viel gemacht werden, obwohl ich vor ein paar Jahren damit gefahren bin,,,) Nun stellt sich für mich die Frage, Ihren W111 kaufen, fahren und Freude haben, oder den „eigenen“ Aufbauen… ist natürlich eine Preisfrage) Mal sehen in welche Richtung es sich bewegt, kaufen ist ja einfacher als verkaufen) Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Boris Eichler

      Technik: In die Baureihen 111 und 112 wurden neben den viertürigen Fahrzeugen („Heckflossen“-Limousinen) auch die Coupés und Cabrios in niedrigeren Karosserien mit abgerundeten, nur ansatzweise geformten Finnen eingeordnet. Bei der Eröffnung des Daimler-Benz-Museums in Untertürkheim am 24. Februar 1961 wurde das neue Mercedes-Benz 220-SEb-Coupé präsentiert. Als W 111 gab es Coupé und Cabriolet anfangs mit der gleichen Technik wie die Limousine 220 SE als 220 SEb/C. Im Gegensatz zum Vorgängermodell basiert das Coupé auf der ungekürzten Rahmen-Boden-Anlage der zugehörigen Limousine und war dadurch ein vollwertiger Viersitzer. Coupé und Limousine haben auch stilistisch zahlreiche Gemeinsamkeiten; trotzdem konnte von den Rohbauteilen des Viertürers nicht ein einziges Teil für das Coupé oder das Cabrio verwendet werden. Für Coupés und Cabrios wurden viermal so viele Teile in Handarbeit gefertigt wie für die Limousine. Diese C-Modelle waren die letzten weitgehend in Handarbeit gefertigten Mercedes, weshalb der Preis der Coupés und Cabrios fast doppelt so hoch lag wie der der Limousinen. LG Tom
