According to the logo on the front of this car, it is related to Argentina. Either it came from South America or the owner did. They did not make many of these two door sedans and this one is in great shape. I think it’s a 1971.
A coupé variant of this model was introduced in 1969 with a ‘C’ designated after the model number. Where the saloon would just have ‘280E’ written on the boot lid, the coupé would have ‘280CE’. The exclusivity of the coupé was reflected by a longer boot hood, and the 250C was fitted with a 2.8 litre 6-cylinder engine, whereas the saloon was fitted with the 2.5. It is considered by some to be one of the finest classics of the 60’s and 70’s, although this is not reflected in the prices of these cars which is generally less than its more popular contemporaries the Mercedes SL R107/C107 roadster and coupe (1971–1989), and a fraction of price commanded by the Pagoda models[7] (1963–1971). While a ‘hard-top’ unlike the fully convertible SL, the pillarless design allowed all the windows could be wound completely away for “summer motoring”. Only 67,048 coupés were made from 1969 to 1976 against 1.852,008 saloons. Of these 24,669 were “280C”, “280CE” (top of the range) and 42,379 “250C” and “250CE”.

That was posted last March so I doubt he still has the car but give him a try.
Actually, it was last June, not March.
