The 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250SE was the predecessor to today’s S-Class and established the basis for a long-line of “classic” German design that has finely evolved over the past five decades.

Powered by a smooth 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250SE Cabriolet was capable of a top speed of nearly 120-mph, which was very impressive in its day, especially when one considers this is a 3,285 pound, five-passenger convertible. The car received improvements for the 1966 model year that included larger 14-inch wheels, the fitting of a hydro-pneumatic unit on the rear axle and the brakes being upgraded to discs at all four corners of the platform.

Finished in white with a tan interior and a blue soft-top; this example shows just over 74,500 miles, which are believed to be original. Benefitting from a recent repaint the car presents quite nicely, and the interior is in good condition with no major issues, as well as the carpet. The wood on the dash, however, needs to be refinished for proper presentation. The blue top complements the white and tan color combination and the top remains in good condition as well. The engine bay has recently been given a thorough detailing. The previous owners were an elderly couple who used the car sparingly, and it continues to run and drive well. Additional equipment includes an AM/FM radio, factory alloy wheels and a dash clock, plus the elegance of this class of car from this era.
