The Mercedes-Benz 280 SE attests to WIKING head Fritz Peltzer’s well-honed and never-failing instinct. In the sixties, he always bet on the right horse by crafting moulds that routinely added dream cars to the model selection in addition to the usual vehicles used for everyday trips. The open-air version of the Mercedes-Benz 280 SE is certainly one of these dream cars. Affording the beholder a splendid view of the open and obvious splendour of the interior, the stylish curvature of the body speaks volumes to us today of the comfort car enthusiasts both at home and abroad experienced six decades ago. WIKING treats the new cream beige edition of this convertible to a refined chrome look that stays true to the glow this flagship vehicle cast on its era. Produced between 1967 and 1971, the 280 SE was an object of desire that scores of film and TV stars ordered as a symbol of status and pleasure in automotive beauty.
