A genuinely rare and exceptionally well-preserved 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280SE in standout Yellow with Brown leather and genuine wood trim. This is a matching-numbers car with the kind of history and condition most buyers won’t find.

235,000 km, always garaged, rust free, and only driven on fine weekends. This car presents in immaculate condition and has clearly been maintained properly rather than just cosmetically.

Engine & Drivetrain This 2.8L fuel-injected straight-six was fully rebuilt in Australia around 10 years ago (all paperwork included) prior to personal import by the current owner. Built in an era when Mercedes engines were heavily over-engineered, this car runs beautifully and drives like a dream with no odd noises or rattles. Paired with a smooth 4-speed automatic.

History & Documentation Complete service history from new to present — every receipt and invoice over 50 years. Extremely rare documentation that adds confidence and collector appeal.

Matching numbers — engine, transmission, and chassis — and the original paint, professionally resprayed to a high standard.

Absolutely everything works — electrics, gauges, windows, sunroof, and factory A/C blows cool, definitely not ice cold though.

Reluctantly for sale as the owner is reducing the number of vehicles he keeps, not due to any issue with the car.
