1972 Mercedes-Benz 250CE for sale
Current customer rating: (453 votes ) based onThe W114 coupé hailed a completely new range of cars for
Mercedes-Benz. Unlike everything else on offer. this did not take
any previous elements from the standard 180 from the 1950's. A new
designer was also bought in. Paul Bracq. who penned a pure and
uncluttered motorcar. The roofline came down and the seats lowered
to maintain headroom. The pillars were removed and all four windows
wound down completely out of sight. The engine was a 2. 5 litre. br/>fuel injected unit with Bosch Jetronic injection delivering 148bhp
and propelling this model up to a perfectly respectable 115mph. br/>especially in those days.
The first owner. it transpired. was Baron King of Bridgewater. br/>Secretary of State for Northern Ireland at the time. He specified
an automatic gearbox and alloy wheels from the limited options list
at the time and it was that same owner. some twenty years later. br/>who sold the car. through an intermediary. to the vendor. just the
second owner from new. It had a damaged front wing by this time and
the new owner restored the car to the fine order you see it in
today. The number plate it carried and first owner in Ireland was
expunged from DVLA records for secrecy at the time. although a new
age-related plate has since been attributed to it. Officially. this
makes it a one owner car with a known but mysterious past.
The originality. low mileage and model rarity made this not only
too good to miss for Mercedes Enthusiast magazine who dedicated an
entire feature to this car. but also the museum curators at
Mercedes-Benz World where it has been on show since June last year.
Supplied with a fresh MoT test certificate and history file. this
desirable and fascinating example not only looks good but has been
used little. looked after comprehensively and is reported to drive
very well indeed.
