The 1968-1976 Mercedes-Benz 250/280C/CE were the sportiest non-SL Mercedes of this period. All were derived from the square-lined “New Generation” sedan first seen in 1967, iffering mainly in a slightly shortened pillarless roof with two-inch-lower overall height..

The U.S. spec headlights and taillights are in very condition with no hazing or cracks. The original equipment wheels showed very little marring.

Inside, he rich Saddle Tan MB-Tex vinyl seats all look great with no major signs of wear visible. Excellent matching carpet throughout the interior. Overall the genuine wood in the interior looks great, owever there is a little lifting on the dash speaker. The door panels and dashboard are matched perfectly with the exterior of the car and look fantastic. The headliner mirrors the rest of the cabin and completes the theme.
