1966 Mercedes-Benz W111 Coupe & Cabriolet

This 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250SE cabriolet is one of approximately 950 examples produced between 1965 and 1967. The car is said to have spent time in Maryland and Florida before being purchased by the seller in 2016 and relocated to Ontario, Canada. The car subsequently underwent a refurbishment that was completed in 2018 and included repainting the body in Havana Brown, refinishing the chrome trim, restoring the interior wood trim, and replacing the grille, taillights, and carpets. Power is provided by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and equipment includes a brown convertible soft top, a top boot, 14″ steel wheels with covers, disc brakes, power steering, brown leather upholstery, a Becker Grand Prix stereo, and a heater. This W111 cabriolet shows 86k kilometers (~53k miles) and is now offered with a photo of the data card and Ontario registration in the seller’s name. The car left the factory in Moss Green and was repainted in Havana Brown as part of the refurbishment in 2017, which also included refinishing the chrome trim and replacing the grille and taillights. Exterior features include a replacement brown convertible soft top, a top boot, front vent windows, a driver-side mirror, twin exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers. The 14″ steel wheels feature bright-finished covers with color-matched centers and are mounted with 215/75 Hankook Optimo tires. The suspension includes an independent double-wishbone front setup with coil springs along with a rear single-joint swing axle.

The wood trim was sanded and refinished and the carpets were replaced in 2018.
