1970 Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5 Coupe W111 Restoration Project
This 280SE/9 3.5 Cp was brought to John Haynes for appraisal and although in fair condition the owner wished for a full restoration to be carried out. John Haynes timeline for restoration on this vehicle was 12 months. All parts were pre purchased and held on reserve to ensure no price increases from date of the agreed estimate and of course ensuring the availability of all parts when commencing the restoration.
This particular vehicle benefitted from being very solid and fairly corrosion free which is a great platform to allow you to work with original panels.
The restoration flowed well and all body work was carried out in sync with the chrome work, trim work and wood work being prepared for the overall re-assembly.
The vehicles whole running gear was overhauled to ensure mechanically the vehicle was 100% fault free.
As well as all mechanical items we carried out the fitment of Behr Air-Conditioning which is something we can fit to exacting specifications.
The conclusion of this restoration presented a superb example of an extremely desirable model of classic period Mercedes-Benz.

Masterpiece car and job rebuilding it from bottom!
You have done a great work. I hope that Mercedes Benz understand how much people admire the old models and try to reproduce that models with the new technology. Thank you.
Its so great , mr !!! My dream . Hi from Belarus .
Sheer class and timeless elegance! I'd take this over a modern day Maybach any day! I don't think Mercedes could have done a better restoration, this is better than factory, well done guys!
Nice too see old merc still alive.
🚗🚗I actually adore Mercedes Benz for 40 years and I have a Mercedes-Benz car every loving, respect and appreciation for you to the Mercedes-Benz car 🚗🚗🚗👌👌👌☑️✔️👍👍👍👍👍
Nice work...
What in the world could the value in $$ be in this restoration job?? Having worked on these cars decades ago, there is a staggering amount of materials and labor required to accomplish the task shown in this video producing this absolutely magnificent result. Just the facilities to perform this level of work must be tantamount to a factory. Those who are doing such work shown here display a most admirable, "old-school" pride, and craftsmanship. Great work, folks!!
One of the best looking MB ever
Absolutely stunning! Wonderful restoration!
A salute of respect and appreciation to the men who are trying to save these old cars
Artistic passionate restoration, makes the classic sit in pride.
Good job 💪💪💪🇩🇪🇩🇪

Вот это называется Реставрация автомобиля С нуля и; до идеала’ Класс 👍 Лайк 👍
Wuaw,, nunca había mirado un vídeo terminado,,, los felicito,
An excellent example of an automobile built during the era of “ forever” cars at Mercedes’ Benz. It was designed so it could be taken apart and put back together. It was meant to last the lifetime of the owner and then get passed on to the next owner. I just watched a video on the new Benzes and I wonder how many of them will be worth restoring 50 years from now.
My dream 😎
espectacular. impecable . hermoso..

I remember these as a kid and they still look great as does this rebuild , my only negative was the speed up electric car sales in the UK advert that tried to run , stuff electric when you have a classic car !
Insanely amazing ... wow. Is that a new age engine?
Всё очень круто!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

From junkyard to new car!
Cooool
Flawless job where is your work shop ?
Is it 387 blue met? Top Job 👍
The times back in the 70's when I could have bought one of these and a 300 se coupe for just £250 at auction cos nobody wanted them , and now, wowee ! but my conscience wont allow me to buy a German car and now I have a last of the line Jaguar XJ12 series 3 and a magnificent Humber Imperial , two great good looking cars but they dont look as good as the Merc .
Hibátlan!

The factory built one of one Pulman 600 6.3 Coupe for a retirement gift. Ultra rare car . Alex Dearborn sold it many many years ago from his Topsfield Massachusetts office.
