The mid-range Mercedes-Benz fintail saloons of 1959 were joined by very elegant four seater coupes and Cabriolet in 1961, at first just with fuel injected 2195cc in-line 6 cylinder 120hp small engine. But in 1962 a 170hp six cylinder 2996cc motor with a manual or auto gear box for choice. Disc brake were fitted all around. The 300SEs were double the price of the 220SE, so inevitably production was limited.

A new Range of W108 Saloons appeared in 1965,But the coupe and cabriolet model remained in limited production.

The new in- line 6 cylinder 2496cc seven-bearing engine was produced for the W108 250SE model until 1968, and then the 2778cc in-line 6 cylinder 280SE engine took over until 1971.Both cars were fitted with swing-axle rear independent suspension and power steering.  

Mercedes - Benz W111 Coupes and Cabriolet were based on new mid-range W111 sadens, though styling-by Paul Braqc who later penned the 230SL-was bereft of the saloon. clumsy fins. He drew a tight, handsome, Detroit-influenced pillar less hardtop for the coupe, with fashionable wraparound front and rear screens, squared-off rear haunches and stacked light at the front, glass-bubble covers echoing the design of the top-of-the range Fintail saloons.1962,the 220 was joined by the air-suspended. fully disc-braked power-steered 300SE coupe using the big alloy 160 hp three-liter straight six first seen in the fintail saloons a year earlier. It was all change again fir 1965 when the 250replaced the 220 range. from this point.two door cars took technical lead from the new W108 S-Class saloons. They replaced the upper-range Fintails that year. With higher final drive gearing and larger 14-in (365mm) wheels, the 250 coupe was almost as quick as the 300........It shared the bigger cars disc brakes. Thus, it seemed perfectly rational to Benz-watchers when Stuttgart rationalized the coupe range with a single 280SE modelin 1967, the smooth, flexible 2778cc unit pumping 160 real horsepower in fuel-injected from.  

The Final and the best W111 the most exciting coupe derivative was the 1969 V-eight conceived to appease American buyers weaned on lazy, a high-toruke V-eight single cam per bank electronically injected engine give a full-blooded 200 bhp at 5800rpm in dirty, with a 4 speed Mercedes Benz made 4 speed auto gear box. European tune, good for over 125mph(201km/h) with 0-60 mph less than 9 seconds. Still top of the Mercedes range at end of 60s and also one of the fastest 2 door production model in the world in its day.Only few cars can match the elegance of these 1960s coupe and cabriolets. The 600 Limousine Max speed got 120mph(193km/h) The W111 2 door stayed in production until 1971,when it was replaced by the 350SLC. All W111 280SE3.5 2 door with 4 speed Mercedes Benz gear box or 5 speed ZF manual gear box,4 wheel independent suspension, 4 wheel disc brake system, front vented disc,4 speed auto gear box. Mercedes 3449cc V8 EFI engine, power steering, 2 door 5 seat, some with optional power windows, elec. sunroof, air condition,14 inch white side wall tire and leather seat. wood trim. There were plenty of sport coupe, but never got Luxury and power like 280SE3.5 Coupe. At end of 60s and hand build in a very small No, very expensive only 4502 been made, more than 28% were soft top cabriolet model. The Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupe is the highest developed and strongest motorized model of the coupe production series. In 1961 began with the 220 SE Coupe the production of these fantastic cars, which the French like to call "Grand Routier". The motorization and prices of the coupes rose constantly.

There followed a 250 SE, 280 SE and 300 SE..... Shortly before the end of production Mercedes introduced its famous 350 SE Motor. The abundant root wood, the thick leather upholstery, the comfortable seats and the spacious seating invite you to styleful and very comfortable traveling. Even 5-member families find it difficult to fill the exceptionally large trunk with their luggage. This was a car suited to take German families across Europe for their annual holiday on the beaches of the Mediterranean . This unit was used for many years in the 350 SE, SL and SLC. Accordingly small is the number of pieces manufactured. According to the Mercedes Benz record 4502 copies of the type 280SE3.5 Cabriolet and Coupe were built. Production time from 11/1969 to 7/1971. This motor was only offered for one year in the 280 SE 3.5 Coupe. RHD 2 door Coupe model Inc Coupe and Cabriolet were more rare, only less than handful RHD Coupe and Cabriolet been built. The W111 280SE 3.5 coupe had clean, elegant lines with a timeless quality. Powerful M116 3.5 SOHC 5 bearing crankshaft, Bosch electronic fuel injected V8 engine give them a fair turn of speed. The export model for the United States dropped the Plexiglas headlight cover. The radiator grille was made wider and lower than 220,250,280 model. Many people in Europe and USA believe this is the best 5 seat coupe and also one of the greatest sporting cars of its era, it was also only one Mercedes looks like a American look. If you see the rear part of this Coupe, you will agreed. The only compettitor is the Rolls-Royce MPW Coupe and Ausston Martin DB6.But today DB6 were no more affordable. MPW Coupe got a 6230cc V8 Performance very close to 280SE3.5,0-60mph take 9.6 sec and top speed just 5 mph less than Mercedes.Both car can drive by the owner every day..The both car also have huge boots and plenty of legroom for rear 3 passengers.Mercedes Benz 280SE3.5 was also the last one Mercedes model made by hand crafted at the Sindelfingen coachworks.. 1971 Mercedes Benz at west coast cost as below.

According to the opinion of experts one of the best motors, which Mercedes has ever built. Because just this motorization makes the luxurious coupe to a Gentleman's Express, connoisseurs and collectors prefer this implementation.
The one we got was imported from UK at mid of 80s by a film Star in HK. The car was fully restored by Mr. Sun Joi-Muk ( a 60s mini cooper S collector in HK ) between 2004-2008.The 280SE 3.5 2 door is a rare car indeed and in total just less than 500 were produced with right-hand drive. Today the 280SE 3.5 remains the most desirable variant of the collectable W111 range ( a 60s flagship Mercedes ) and can still be enjoyed on a daily drive and drive by the owner, such was the level of technology and engineering found on these cars.


如果要說出六、七十年代最先進、舒適、高性能、車廂寬敞及設備豪華的五座轎跑車一定非平治280 SE 3.5 Coupe 莫屬。在 21世紀的今天還可以作為日常代步,是一輛少有可以每日用的珍藏車。280 SE 3.5 轎跑可說是CL的前身,因為它是由當年平治Fintai(鰭狀尾款)大型房車衍生出來的大轎跑型號,和今日的S-Class和CL-Class一樣。W111 的Fintai(於上世記59年推出市場,兩年後,以這款車為基礎發展出來的轎跑及開篷型號同時面世,除了車頭之外,車身及車尾經過全新設計,Coupe是沒有中柱設計,車尾有弧形尾玻璃,是平治唯一一輛帶有美國汽車的影子。今日W111 Coupe已被公認為平治車系中最優雅及脫俗的汽車。推出初期配備了一台2.2公升直六電噴115匹引擎,220 Si 1965年加入了一台2.5公升新電噴引擎,這250 SE使220 SE馬力不足的情況得到一定改善,1968年一台更大馬力2.8公升引擎加入W111 Coupe系列。同期W112也推出了300 SE Coupe,1969年W111加入了 平治第二台 3.5公升V8 SOHC型號(第一台V8 是6公升600頂級長陣Limousine 豪華房車)。主要是針對美國市場,使這轎跑可以真正跑出速度。由於V8引擎比直六引擎矮,新車車頭同樣比其他W111矮,在車頭可以可以清楚看出280 SE 3.5轎跑鬼面比較矮方。此車外形同樣是平治汽車系列中擁有最強美國汽車的味道,和當時的Caillac及Buick十分似,前後弧形的玻璃,不設B柱,修長的車身及魚鰭式的車尾部在平治汽車歷史上最美式的設計。

配備V8引擎的W111 280 SE 3.5是系列中收藏價值最高的,因為除了這副3.5升電噴環保短衝程V8引擎可以在 5,800轉/分 發出200匹馬力外,更可以在9秒內跑完 0~60哩,極速高達201公里/小時,比當時同廠600 Limousine 頂級豪華房車的193公里/小時更快,而車內更可配上原廠四速自動波箱、冷氣、電動窗、電動大天窗、中央鎖,(在90年代的平治也不一定有一個大天窗)所以在那個年代這是一輛十分了不起的汽車,加上標準方向助力、桃木裝飾、仿皮座椅、特大尾座位及特大車尾行李箱,可以同時容納一家人五口成人及一家行李,以及四輪獨立懸掛、四輪盆剎,加上附有助力剎車,這使 280 SE 3.5 Coupe 成為當時最高性能的轎跑同時也是最實用的轎跑,因為當時市面的轎跑也只可容納2名中童。而同時這車的外表也是被公認為平治最美的一輛轎跑,性能亦不遜於今日的汽車。當年同級對手只有Aston Martin DB6 及 Rolls Royce MPW Coupe。

當時平治220房車車價在美國西岸為5,445美元,220D房車車價5,553美元,250房車連自動波箱車價7,509美元,280 SEL長式房車連自動波車價為8,663美元。280 SL跑車7,602美元,280 SE 3.5轎跑為13,910美元,足見車價之高,比起280 SL,車價高近一倍。電動天窗及電窗另加789美元。這280SE3.5 coupe 同時也是平治最後才批准用人手造的汽車。根據廠方的記錄,在1969年11月至1971年7月期間,280 SE 3.5 兩門轎跑只生產了4,502輛,當中有百分之二十七為開篷型號,大部份為左舵款,右舵款不到500輛。而且 280 SE 3.5 Coupe 的面罩比車系中其他型號──220、250及280都闊及更矮,令此車外型更加俊朗瀟灑,車速也是最快的,加上擁有不少今日汽車的設備,可以在今日的道路使用,是今日古典平治汽車之中最值得珍藏的型號。同樣當年此車在歐洲及美國人心目中,也是最受歡迎及最美、最豪華、最快、最容易操控及最實用的轎跑車。
