1966 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Cabriolet

  • Chassis Number: 111.023.10.086505
  • Engine Number: 129.980.10.008542
This Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Cabriolet is powered by a 2,496cc SOHC inline 6-cylinder engine with Bosch Mechanical fuel injection and delivers 170 horsepower at 5,600 RPM. There is a four-speed manual gearbox, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, and an independent front suspension with coil springs. It was sold new in mid-1966 via the Mercedes-Benz European Delivery Program and imported to San Francisco later that year. It remained in the original owner's care for the next 31 years. While in the care of Dr. L. Philip Lutfy of Arizona, it was awarded the Mercedes-Benz Club of America's Silver Star Certificate for originality.

The car retains its original spare wheel, jack, tool roll, and Hepco-fitted luggage. It has its original black Roser hides, zebrano wood, and a majority of its White (DB 50) paint.
