Mercedes Benz 250 SE 1966

Mercedes-Benz model nomenclature in the 1960s is difficult to follow once the tail fins disappear. The W108 and W109 family of sedans is identified mainly by the grille and front fenders from the 1961 W111 design, with cathedral headlights in the European versions, which were replaced by vertically stacked 5-inch lights in the U.S. + Mercedes-Benz's 250 series replaced the 220- and 230 six-cylinder models and served as the company's sensible sedan, with an understated design, faux-leather interior, durable construction and decent performance. The rear fins disappeared in 1965 and the new bodywork was longer and lower. A new 2.5-liter 7-horsepower, 128-hp, six-cylinder engine appeared in the 250S and 250SE sedans and was replaced in 1968 by the 2.8-liter variant that generated 180 hp. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
