1973 Mercedes-Benz 250 CE
Specifications
Description
A Beautiful, Original Mercedes-Benz 250CE Coupe - an eye catching icon of 1960's German design. A classic pillarless coupe with beautiful proportions and an elegant style that never gets old. A car that was immediately successful on launch and is still a motoring icon today. The Mercedes-Benz company tag line “The Best or Nothing,” perfectly sums up the W114 and W115 chassis Mercedes sedans and coupes introduced in 1968. In fact, the 250 CE was the first car that Mercedes engineered in the post-war period.
It came from the desk of designer Paul Bracq and is widely regarded as the ancestor of the modern E-Class, has bomb-proof build quality, and is considered to be one of the most reliable cars ever made.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- This 250CE is an excellent example. Pretty much been garaged all its life, it has zero rust and has had three owners in the last 27 years.
- Motor reconditioned, bodywork all repaired, repainted and upholstery renewed 33449 miles ago
- Comes with a Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection system, this was the first time Mercedes-Benz used a fully-electronic fuel injection system in a production car.
- It is in great condition. The interior is extremely well-kept and is finished in MB-Tex material. MB-Tex is a vinyl material developed by Mercedes-Benz, which is durable and easier to clean than leather. There are also new carpets and all switches, dials and buttons are in working order.
- This car is powered by a M 114 920 6-cylinder 2496cc engine mated to an automatic gearbox
- This classic Mercedes-Benz coupe has a really sporty elegance to it and gets better looking with age.
Being Mercedes, these cars are not only great classics but especially reliable. Parts availability is excellent, with virtually everything available from Mercedes. There is also an understated elegance about these coupes that seems to say that the owner is someone who appreciates the very best but doesn't need to shout about it. For those not in the know, earlier Mercedes coupes are now trading for more than $60K in the US.
The 250C is quite rare with only 8,624 total examples built from 1969 until 1973. Worth noting that Pele, the coolest footballer of all time, drove a four-cylinder version at the height of his fame in 1970. So go on - be like Pele :)
A great investment and a stunning car to drive.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
