Thank you in advance.

Has this problem always been there??
A 280SE sounds like an EURO to me that at one time got federalized.
During the federalization process of mine, they build in a new speedometer.
If that is true for your's, too, maybe they didn't pick the right one?
The rear diff ratio could be different, leading to a wrong speed indication?
So maybe the gearing works, but you have the wrong gears....

Just an idea.
