MERCEDES-BENZ 250SE

Finished in 050 White over the most wonderful conditioned Red MB Tex interior this Mercedes-Benz 250SE was supplied new in 1966 to the UK through Mercedes-Benz agents Rose & Young Ltd of London.

This 250SE, part of the ever popular W108 chassis range, is best described as an unrestored example and is possibly one of the lowest mileage and original examples we have had the pleasure of offering for quite some time.

Purchased new by Mr Victor Matthews the CEO of Trafalgar House and later the proprietor of the Daily Express, the vehicle stayed in the Matthews family from 1966 until 2005, some 39 years.

All 5 owners since are documented within the history file, these include the last 3 owners who are all known to us here at John Haynes as notable and knowledgeable Mercedes-Benz Club enthusiasts, subsequently the 250SE has proudly attended many show events over the past few years, including coming 2″ in its Class at the Mercedes-Benz Club National day in 2018 and winning awards at the Simply Mercedes Event held at the Beaulieu National Motor Museum in 2019 and 2022.

This 250SE comes as right hand drive, automatic column change with PAS, centre arm rests, front inertia seatbelts, original Blaupunkt radio and is sold with a luxury bespoke car cover.

The history file is substantial and would satisfy any perspective purchaser, a double folder houses many invoices throughout its life, including some recent notable expenditure, 30 MOT certificates dating back to the mid 1980’s, previous registration documents and tax discs, along with the original service booklet stamped from new, handbooks and two sets of keys.

Now on sale at John Haynes this 250SE is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian and Mercedes-Benz enthusiast.
