Powered by a smooth 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the 1968 250SE coupe was capable of a top speed of nearly 120-mph, which was very impressive in its day, especially considering it weighed nearly 3,000 pounds. With a 300-cc increase in displacement and a boost in compression over previous models, performance was on par to the level of 1965 300 Series, yet suffered only a negligible effect on fuel consumption. Other improvements included larger 14-inch wheels, the fitting of a hydro-pneumatic unit on the rear axle and the brakes being upgraded to discs on all four wheels. Very clean and presentable, this seldom-found example of the 250SE coupe is reminiscent of the early Mercedes racers, being finished in silver with red upholstery. It has been maintained keeping originality in mind with factory wheels still mounted. It is a very lovely running and driving example.
