As its certificate of authenticity from Mercedes-Benz confirms, this elegant 250 SE Cabriolet left the factory on 21 July 1966 and was delivered to the Mercedes dealership at Aachen in Germany. Finished in beige with a cognac interior, it was fitted with the optional individual front seats and a Becker Europa radio. In 2009, Guido Hommel bought it to add to his collection of cabriolets. The car subsequently underwent a bodywork restoration and was completely repainted in its current and very attractive colour. The panels are well aligned and an inspection of the underbody showed the car to be totally sound. The beige leather upholstery has been redone, as has the black hood, which is in perfect condition. The engine is the original matching numbers unit, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, and the car is in good running order. Behind the wheel, the superb dashboard features a Becker Mexico radio, and the front seats are equipped with headrests and safety belts. The odometer is reading 90,370km and a Tripmaster has been fitted under the dashboard. With its warm colour, immaculate presentation and engine ready to be fired up, this superb example, which was the subject of a valuation report in 2024, is sure to attract the attention of enthusiasts looking to drive a comfortable car which will always be at ease in today’s traffic.
