With only 1,500km at the time, here is our family 280SE. Photo was taken in Italy in the spring of '75, not long after delivery at Sindelfingen. The following year the car arrived in Melbourne and made the journey to a new life in Hobart. She was last seen in Canberra in late 1981:

I still have the oval-shape tourist-delivery Zoll plate and plan to affix it under the regular plate on the rear of my 6.9 for old time's sake.

Beautiful 280SE David.

What colour blue is the 280SE?

Great Family photo great memories.

Try and dig out an old photo of my Parents 1979 240D my Mum standing alongside the car the same day my Parents bought the car.

Baby Tim was driven home on the backseat of the 240D.

See even when I was a baby I was a fan of Mercedes!

Sorry David back to your original post.

That's just fantastic. Love the Pirelli CN36 tyres too.
