This week we feature a 1971 280 SE owned by Peter Burris-Meyer of Titusville, FL. Delivered in Sindelfingen in the early spring of '71, Peter's parents spent most of that year touring Europe and North Africa in this car.

Today, the car is kept in Central Florida under the care of Pierre Hedary and his team. The “Grey Lady” has surpassed 300,000 kilometers, yet remains remarkably original. She still hits the road for 1,500 miles a year, making every outing feel like a car show!
