Description

“As with any old Merc, the 2-door coupé is the one you want — elegant, timeless, and increasingly hard to find. This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Coupé is a factory right-hand drive example, making it even more desirable and well-suited for local roads. This car runs very well and is fully road-usable, offering the opportunity to enjoy it as-is or take it on as a long-term restoration project. All paperwork is in order, making for a smooth ownership transfer.
The original engine has been replaced with a later model Mercedes 280 carburetor engine and automatic transmission, making this a slightly modified but still very drivable classic.
The bodywork and paint are in fair condition — not perfect, but presentable. The interior also presents fairly, with woodwork still in good shape, offering a solid foundation for anyone looking to bring this car back to its former glory.
This is truly a restorer’s dream — a rare and iconic body style that can be enjoyed immediately and improved over time.
A special car with undeniable charm and loads of potential.
Located in Shere, Pretoria East – Viewings by appointment only.

★★★★★ - A True Sanctuary for Classic Car Enthusiasts ​I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wat Swaai Jy and was absolutely blown away. This isn't just a dealership; it's a museum where every car tells a story. From impeccably restored muscle cars to perfectly preserved European grand tourers, their inventory is diverse and of the highest quality. ​What truly sets them apart is the expertise and genuine passion of the staff, not only about the mechanics and history of the vehicles but also about the provenance and market value. There was zero pressure—just honest, excited discussion about classic cars. ​If you're serious about finding a rare, high-quality classic, or just want to spend an afternoon admiring automotive history, Wat Swaai Jy is the definitive place to go. A truly world-class operation.
