Imagine telling Mercedes-Benz Club members at a gathering before a car show that you are the proud owner of a 280SE cabriolet, they assume it's a $100,000 W111, and then show up in that. Too funny.

Who needs a roof? Or structural integrity? Or seatbelts? It has a nice tow hitch. And used to have self-leveling suspension.

  Don't claim you don't secretly want one, haha.. if only one could. Still, this thing is Germany road-approved, so integrity would be a given. Not too shabby!

No. Just no. It's too awful and too ugly for more words.

@Stan,

no, its not road-approved.

TÜV Abnahme als Cabrioumbau muss noch gemacht werden.

What Thomas said.
I'd say good luck trying to push that through the TÜV too...

No, but I would take a nice station wagon conversion.

Well, at least it has a trailer hitch

I saw the Car papers on a second ad he placed. Presumed those would not have been issued without TUV?
Guess not!
So how the hell  is anyone gonna pay 14000 euro for that?

Well, I'd secretly want one, for sure, if properly built.
But then again, I would also love a W116 hearse, no matter how ugly. It just hits the right button..for me.
Good thing it all isn't real.
