Rare right-hand drive Mercedes 280SE Cabrio V8 hitting the block at Brooklands



If you like rare-ish Benzes, have a little cash laying around, and are in the mood for something right-hand drive, then you're probably already heading to the Historics at Brooklands auction coming up next month.

This gorgeous 1970 280SE 3.5 Cabrio (who doesn't love older Benzos?) is one of only 55 RHD examples ever built and is expected to bring in between £70,000-90,000, or approximately $107,000-138,000.
