1966 mercedes benz 250SE Coupe. Sunroof, Floor Manual Trans. Euro Model

They say every car has a story; Although I don’t have documents to substantiate it, but I think it’s worth telling!

Owned by one of Mexico’s presidents “Adolfo Lopez Mateos” In the 80’, it was then sold to an Argentinian composer/song writer called “Bebu silvetti” whom brought it to southern California in the mid-eighties. He Enjoyed Driving it for a while and in the early 2000 he commissioned the restoration to a master coach builder “Sebastian Dominguez coachwork & restoration” in Los Angeles area to restore it. Restoration was started, Fenders were dipped to bare metal, however process was stopped due to silvetti’s health issues and it was put away in storage where it sat for last 12+ years. Silvetti passed away and restoration was canceled.

After 12+ years of hibernation!, I acquired the car and I had The following performed: Complete brake job including all four calipers and brake lines as needed. Rebuild shifter bushing and slave pump, Rebuilt rear Shock stabilizer assembly, flushed radiator, new fuel pump, flushed gas tank, new gas lines and other needed rubber hoses to make it run. It is now running & driving car. It shifts through all gears and idles however it is still in need of fine tuning. Wheels are aluminum and tires are old. It’s blue, Blue leather interior is in need of replacement and is original, the wood dash is complete and in need of varnishing and some repairs. Sunroof works although a bit slow. All lights work, Mexican-Becker original radio in the dash but not working. As far as rust is concerned; there is rust in bottom of rear ¼ panels and both front rails under the front fenders. The rest of the car is solid, no sign of rust on frame or rest of the body. Doors shut like a Mercedes door! Great car to restore while being driven! An original and unmolested car. Clear California title.
