1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE

This Benz was actually a gift to Patrick from his wife on his birthday. I wouldn’t expect to see Patrick on a track with this big boy anytime soon, though he does have his wife to thank for his current racing career. Apparently nine years earlier she bought him a three-day competition racing package and he’s been at it ever since.

I found 280SEs on eBay selling between $30,000-$60,000. The 290SE is the precursor to today’s modern S Class, also a fine choice.
