The seller offers for sale this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 250SE, an elegant coupe in remarkable good condition. Originally owned by a private collector, the car was used sparingly as a hobby vehicle, explaining its low mileage. It was acquired by the current owner in 2008 directly from the heirs of the first owner. The car retains its original German papers and was repainted in 2017 in its factory colour, with all chrome trim preserved in original condition. In 2024, the leather seats and carpets were replaced to restore the cabin’s refined look. The 2.5-litre inline-six petrol engine runs smoothly, free from smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox operates reliably. The car benefits from factory-installed power steering and disc brakes, and recent mechanical updates include a new fuel pump, renovated chassis elements, and a new exhaust system.
The Mercedes-Benz 250 SE was part of the celebrated W111 series, renowned for its craftsmanship, timeless design and engineering precision. Introduced in the early 1960s, it set new standards for luxury coupés, combining performance and elegance. With its smooth straight-six engine, graceful styling and solid build quality, the 250 SE remains a favourite among collectors who value originality and comfort. This example, carefully maintained and beautifully presented, represents a fine opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Mercedes heritage that continues to deliver a rewarding classic driving experience.
