Description
Beautiful, very cool and increasingly rare RHD 1971 Mercedes 250 CE Coupe which has been painstakingly restored. It is fully serviced, with four new tyres and running really well. It is ULEZ, MOT and tax exempt.
Silver with a black interior, this two door W114 model has come to be regarded as a design classic due to its long lines and its pillarless windows. The car has been rebuilt from its wheel arches up with a full restoration of all the bodywork including floor plates. The seats have also been restored & re-upholstered in a beautiful matt black leather & the interior & boot flooring replaced also.
It is a stunning and perfect around town or country car which will continue to increase in value as this model generally becomes increasingly rare. A popular model in its day & widely considered as one of the most reliable engines in history, many of them were taken off the road & not restored. This has led to there being significantly less of them at a time when the beauty of the shape & design of the model has come to increasingly be appreciated. The car is in demand commercially for magazine shoots & film work so offers the ability to generate income also.
The recent service included replacement of the front brake discs and pads, the fuel filter, air filter, distributor cap, alternator, auxiliary & power steering belts.
The mileage is likely around 130 - 140k - not unusually for these cars, it appears to have been adjusted at some point but looks like is around this amount. It was not repaired after an accident but has passed numerous MOT tests subsequently so meaning it was regarded as totally roadworthy, has, as stated, been completely rebuilt since then & this would have been at a time when the car's value was nothing & therefore would not have justified anything but minor repair costs. This was also why many weren't restored previously. These cars though have increased in value significantly over the last twenty years & their value is predicted to rise exponentially over the next five to ten years as they become even more rare.
This is the perfect car for someone who loves the look & beauty of a classic car but does not want to be doing huge amounts of restoration work & wants a car that is beautiful, runs well and that will continue to increase in value.
Please do feel free to make contact if you would like to know more or have any questions. I will be continuing to add photos and videos.
Many thanks.
