This W114-generation Mercedes-Benz 250 C is a sophisticated ‘70s pillarless coupe, offered in solid order throughout and with only three owners from new. It is powered by the naturally aspirated 2.8-litre ‘M130’ straight-six, producing around 128bhp, which is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. The five-figure odometer shows 3,791 km (2,356 miles), however this is not warranted. This example boasts just three owners, and has been with its current keeper for the last two years. This 250 C is finished in white, over a blue ‘MB-Tex’ vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring a blue dashboard and carpet, a white steering wheel, and wood veneer trim inlays. It rides on a set of 14-inch steel wheels with body coloured and polished chrome hub caps, shod with Lanvigator Primetour whitewall tyres. The factory specification includes air conditioning, VDO gauges, armrests, manual windows, basic heating and ventilation, and a Philips Roadmaster transistor radio. The car will be supplied with an original owner’s manual and two keys. Please note: The cherished number plate ‘I AMERC’ is not included in the sale. The white paintwork has previously been resprayed, and is described by the seller as being in generally good condition, but with various chips, scuffs, and marks. There is also bubbling under the driver’s-side taillight, cracks and a broken section on the driver’s-side taillight lens, and various dents on the metal trim strips around the car. Inside, the cabin presents in fair condition, displaying significant cracking on the dashboard and the wood veneer trims, as well as on the steering wheel. The driver’s door card has stretched, and now features a ribbed appearance as well as a cut in the vinyl, and the sun visors are heavily discoloured, though the hardwearing MB-Tex vinyl-trimmed seats wear their age well. There is no carpet in the boot. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults with the vehicle. This 250 C Coupe’s latest service was carried out at an indicated 2,705 km by a Mercedes specialist. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with a carburettor tune. This W114-generation Mercedes-Benz 250 C is a solid example of the stylish and refined classic pillarless coupe, offered for sale by its third owner from new. Noted to be in good running order, it would benefit from some general refurbishment and a routine service, but is ready to drive and enjoy immediately, and would make a charming weekend driver, light restoration project, or long-distance touring partner.
