1966 | Mercedes-Benz 250 SE

In August 1966, as the Beatles released their legendary Revolver album and the Rolling Stones topped the British charts with Paint It Black, a vehicle was born in Stuttgart-Sindelfingen that still stands for timeless elegance and masterful craftsmanship: a Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Cabriolet W111, largely handcrafted.

The radiant white exterior of this classic is perfectly complemented by a luxurious red leather interior (trim code 204), processed with the unmatched quality only Mercedes could achieve. A black soft top, elegant chrome accents, and an ivory-colored steering wheel with an automatic gear selector add further stylish touches. The handcrafted dashboard made of real rosewood completes the exclusive ambiance.

Acoustically, the car impresses with the reassuring sound of solidly closing doors and the powerful tone of its 150-horsepower six-cylinder engine, which still handles today’s traffic challenges with ease. Cruising in comfort with up to four people under the open sky has rarely been more stylish.

The 250 SE is the last Mercedes model to feature the legendary, meticulously handcrafted fine wood speedometer cover—on this example, all wooden elements are in perfect condition. Only a slight, milky discoloration can be seen at the lower right corner of the windshield.

Since the seller acquired the car, new automatic seat belts have been retrofitted at the Mercedes Classic Center in Essen, and a comprehensive overhaul was carried out, including the replacement of fuel injectors and a brake system refurbishment.

Additionally, this Cabriolet has served as a tour vehicle for several gigs—and is now ready for new adventures.

Take this opportunity to acquire a Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Cabriolet W111 that is not just a car but a true piece of automotive history.
