1971 Mercedes-Benz 280CE | London

The Mercedes-Benz 280CE is a two-door coupé with a fuel-injected 2.8-litre six-cylinder engine. It is known for solid build and a calm, formal manner, made for comfortable long journeys rather than showy speed. This car is finished in red with a brown interior, a warm pairing that gives a camera strong colour to work with. Its very good condition means it arrives looking tidy, and the red paint stands out against city brickwork, period interiors and plain studio backdrops alike. The smart coupé profile suits advertising, fashion and editorial shoots, music videos, and film and TV work set in the 1970s. Brown trim and red paint also photograph well together in close detail shots. It makes a dignified choice for a wedding or a personal occasion too. The car is based in London.
