The story
Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet original only 59,000 km, coming from the royal house! - Year 1970 Only 59,764 km! First leather custom made by Mercedes Benz for an emperor The Cabriolet was ordered in the French version with flag supports and some other rare accessories, including stiffer springs, shortwave adapter, tropical battery It also features: Behr air conditioning, 4 electric windows, tinted glass, red door sills and much more.. The Mercedes was delivered new to Emperor Bokassa I through the Oubangui Automobile company in Bangui, Central African Republic. The W111 was part of the palace fleet from 1970 to 1979 when Bokassa and his family had to flee into exile in France. However, he managed to take the car and many other treasures with him. He was later forced to sell some of his possessions, and so a 3.5 Cabriolet in almost new condition returned to Germany. Fortunately, it has since been in the hands of collectors who recognized and preserved its sensational quality. The mileage of 59,764 km is indeed the total, the interiors correspond to those of a one-year-old car. Trunk and carpet almost unused! The vehicle should be the most interesting 3.5 Cabriolet in the world based on its condition and special configuration, including its documented history.
