This Euro-market 1971 Mercedes-Benz 250CE shows 58k kilometers (~36k miles) and is finished in Light Ivory (670) over Palomino Cloth Seats and powered by a 2.5L inline-6 paired to a 4-speed manual transmission. Notable features and options include OEM air conditioning, a sunroof, manual windows, a rebuilt Becker head unit with Bluetooth added, halogen driving lamps up front and Euro-market front and rear bumpers. Calico CocoMats have been custom made for each of the four footwells. The seller acquired the car in late 2024 and has added approximately 500 miles since. Records under the current owner's care are included and show new fuel injectors and a new voltage regulator. This 250CE is now offered by the seller with factory literature, a factory tool kit, and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name.
This example is noted to have been restored under previous ownership. Per the data plaque on the radiator support, the original color was Light Ivory (670) and the body retains European bumpers and headlamps. Mounted on either side of the front grille are Maxtel halogen driving lamps. The original VIN plates remain intact as do the German decals in the fuel door. Detailed photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery.
Original 14” Bundt wheels are mounted and display “Made in W.Germany” stamps. The wheels sport OEM silver-painted center caps and wear Semperit tires showing 2014 date codes and measuring 205/70 at all four corners.
The cabin is trimmed in Palomino checkered cloth and MB-Tex across the seats, door cards, and armrests. The center console and dashboard are finished in black vinyl and complemented by Zebrano veneer throughout. Notable features include a Becker Mexico head unit that’s been retrofitted with bluetooth, manual windows, a power sunroof, and vacuum-actuated door locks. Custom CocoMats in Calico are shown and the perforated headliner appears to be in good condition.
Instruments are fronted by an OEM Ivory steering wheel and feature Metric gauges for speed, coolant temperature, and fuel. An analog clock is situated between the gauges. The odometer is believed to be original to the car and shows 58k kilometers (~36k miles).
Power is provided by a 2.5L M114 inline-6 which was factory-rated at 148 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. Records under the current owner's care are included and show new fuel injectors and a new voltage regulator.
This 250CE is now offered by the seller with factory literature, a factory tool kit, and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name.

@FredUZell I have two friends in Easton, let's see how the bidding goes. Thanks, N$5,500 bid placed by @Shyk1965
@naccer It has definitely held up well, and is in great shape otherwise not showing too much wear and tear. Paint must have been done before Mecum auction. Would be happy to show you the car if you are anywhere near MD.@FredUZell It's tough with these, they hold up very well. Without any supporting documentation other than a sale 500 km ago at mecum, I'd guess given that the odometer is in km, this is 158k km or 258k km, 100k miles or 160k miles. Both entirely plausible with this condition, and the wear on the driver's seat. Was it repainted before or after the mecum auction?@naccer No documentation other than previous sale.$3,250 bid placed by @Map19335
