HIGHLIGHTS: • Originally delivered in Germany Mercedes-Benz W108 250SE in very original, rust-free condition • From the dry climate of California with a bone-dry and excellently conserved underbody • Equipped with a rare fully functioning electric sunroof • Fitted with an original Becker radio, ivory-colored steering wheel and whitewall tires • Includes original German license plates, Euro headlights, on-board tools and instruction manuals HISTORY/OVERVIEW: The Mercedes-Benz W108 series, designed by Paul Bracq and introduced in the 1960s, is known as the direct precursor to the modern S-Class, combining timeless elegance with superb German build quality. This specific example is a 250SE sedan from 1967 with a fascinating history: the car was originally sold new in Germany and was later exported to the dry climate of California. Thanks to these favorable conditions, the body has remained exceptionally well preserved and the underbody is in a very hard, bone-dry state. The odometer shows an indicated 27,995 km. The original German license plates are still with the car. BODYWORK/PAINT: The body is in a very hard, rust-free condition. The vehicle is finished in a classic creme color and has been professionally repainted in the original color in the past, with the paint showing a beautiful gloss. The chrome work around is also in excellent condition. The car is fitted with Euro headlights, stylish whitewall tires and features a factory-original, correctly functioning electric sunroof. INTERIOR: The interior is authentic and neatly preserved, featuring the iconic ivory-colored steering wheel and an original Becker radio. Given the age, the upholstery is somewhat delicate and there are light water stains visible on the door panels. In the trunk lies the complete on-board tool kit, which still looks like new, together with the spare wheel. ENGINE AND MECHANICS: The car is powered by a 2.5-liter inline six-in-series injection engine paired with an automatic transmission. After a period of inactivity, the car starts, shifts, and drives well. To bring the car technically up to speed, several components have recently been renewed, including a new fuel tank, new whitewall tires, new shock absorbers and new spark plugs. Due to the period of inactivity, the vehicle may still require minor fine-tuning or technical maintenance. DOCUMENTS: The vehicle is supplied with a US title and European import documents (all EU import duties and taxes have been paid). The original instruction manuals and original German license plates are also provided. Since this is a classic vehicle registered before 1996, a COC document is not required for registration within Europe. The vehicle can be viewed and possibly collected in Damwoude, Netherlands. Bids are exclusive of transport and export, unless stated otherwise. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership and any further registration costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
