This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SE Coupe is finished in Black (040) over a Red Leather interior and was purchased by the current owner in 2018. Power is provided by a 2.5L M129 Inline-Six mated to the original 4-speed manual transmission. Features include functional air conditioning, manual windows, an original Becker head unit, and a passenger side rearview mirror. Included in the sale are maintenance records showing work performed totalling more than $12k in maintenance and refurbishment. Most recent services within the last decade include a new A/C compressor, new shocks, new clutch slave cylinder, new radiator, new fuel tank, new brake rotors, calipers, and pads, and an oil service. This 250SE Coupe currently shows 97k miles on the odometer and is offered with partial receipts, manufacturer’s literature, an original tool kit, an original spare tire, and a clean Florida title.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) and the car recieved a full repaint under prior ownership. The body shows no signs of corrosion and detailed photos of the paint, brightwork, and glass are included in the gallery below. The seller notes a faint scrape along the passenger rear quarter panel and detailed photos of the body are highlighted in the gallery. All the brightwork and glass remains original. The grille displays several ornamental badges which will be included in the sale.
The original 14" wheels in matching Black paint are retained with this example including original beauty rings and Black hub caps. Michelin whitewall tires measuring 195/70 on all four corners are shown.
The cabin is finished in Red Leather, optioned from the factory, with new leather front seat covers installed by the current owner and the rear bench seat restored. The doors, and dashboard are also finished in matching Red leather and red carpets accent the floors. Wood veneer is shown on the dashboard, center console, and interior windshield surround with the seller noting the trim around the windshield is in need of refurbishment. This example has retained an original and functional Becker Grand Prix stereo. Additional amenities include functional air conditioning, manual windows, and the original black shift knob.
The ivory steering wheel frames the original gauge cluster featuring two analog gauges for speed in miles per hour and a tachometer. Centered in between is a vertical analog display with readouts for fuel level, engine temperature, and oil pressure. The analog odometer reads 97k miles.
The 2.5L M129 inline-six was rated at 150 horsepower when new and is coupled with a 4-speed manual transmission. All components are reportedly working as they should and noted services include a new A/C compressor, new shocks, new clutch slave cylinder, new radiator, new fuel tank, new brake rotors, calipers, and pads, and oil service. More than $12k in refurbishment and service has been performed in the last decade and records showing recent work and parts will be included. Underbody photos are viewable in the gallery.

A video below provides a walk around and interior tour of the car.
The 111-chassis coupe is a true icon of the 1960’s motoring scene and a prominent placeholder in Mercedes-Benz history as one of the most strikingly beautiful coupes ever produced. This specific example immediately catches our attention for the color combination and seems perfectly at home amongst the palm trees of sunny Miami. With the seller’s documented maintenance, refurbishment, and working air conditioning, this 250SE assumes the position of the ideal driver’s example and candidate for semi-daily duty. Big three-pedal, pillarless coupes like this are all but extinct anymore and examples like this are destined to be special for decades to come. Those interested shouldn’t miss the opportunity to own this distinguished tourer as values are expected to only trend up.

THIS CAR IS NOT GETTING THE RESPECT IT DESERVES. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE THIS CAR SOON AFTER THE SELLER ACQUIRED IT. THE CAR RAN VERY COMFORTABLY AT 70 MPH WITHOUT ANY STABILITY ISSUES. RARE EXAMPLE 4- SPEED, '67 250 SE CLASSIC. THEY AREN'T MAKING BEAUTIES LIKE THIS COUPE ANYMORE. IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF TIME, EFFORT, MONEY AND KNOWLEDGE TO PRESENT THIS CAR IN SUCH FINE CONDITION. I CAN ATTEST TO THIS FACT HAVING OWNED A '65 220 SE COUPE 38 YEARS AGO. KUDOS TO THE BUYER WHO TAKES THIS CAR HOME.@Jim_Rosenthal hello, as far as I've read, the speedometer and tachometers surrounded in wood lasted until 1967 ft coupe version. This was probably one of the first models with a wrapped cluster. Not sure if there's a different story for the convertibleNice car. I thought the 250SE 111 coupes had the wooden instrument binnacle, though- anyone know?$20,000 bid placed by @HRrivers
One more observation - the car has marker lights (or possibly reflectors) on the rear fenders, but not the front. Front and rear should be the same.Beautiful car in so many ways, but the rear end sits way too high. See the spring in pic 263 - this was used to replace a hydraulic unit and this spring needs fine tuning (cutting) to get the height dialed in. Or source an original hydraulic compensator - this car is worth the expense.$5,000 bid placed by @Foti63
Gorgeous presentation on this! Love the color combo.$3,600 bid placed by @mtrappy
