AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Originally delivered in Germany, Mercedes-Benz W108 250SE in very original, rust-free condition
• From the dry climate of California with a bone-dry and excellently preserved underbody
• Equipped with a rare functioning electric sunroof
• Fitted with an original Becker radio, ivory-colored steering wheel and whitewall tires
• Includes original German license plates, euro headlights, onboard tools and instruction manuals
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
The Mercedes-Benz W108 series, designed by Paul Bracq and introduced in the 1960s, is known as the direct precursor to the modern S-Class, combining timeless elegance with superb German build quality.
This particular example is a 1967 250SE sedan with a fascinating history: the car was originally newly delivered in Germany and was later exported to the dry climate of California. Thanks to these favorable conditions, the bodywork has remained exceptionally well preserved and the underbody is in very hard, bone-dry condition. The odometer shows 27,995 km. The original German license plates are still present with the car.
BODY/PAINT:
The body is in a very hard, rust-free condition. The vehicle is finished in a classic crema color and has on occasion been professionally repainted in the original color, with the paint showing a nice gloss.
The chrome trim around is also in beautiful condition. The car is equipped with euro headlights, stylish whitewall tires, and features a factory-installed, fully functioning electric sunroof.
INTERIOR:
The interior is authentic and neatly preserved, featuring the iconic ivory-colored steering wheel and an original Becker radio. Given the age, the upholstery is somewhat delicate and there are light water stains visible on the door panels. In the trunk lies the complete tool kit, which still looks brand new, together with the spare wheel.
ENGINE AND TECHNICS:
The car is powered by the 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder fuel-injected engine paired with an automatic transmission. After a period of static storage, it starts, shifts, and drives well. To make the car technically ready, several parts have recently been renewed, including a new fuel tank, new whitewall tires, new shock absorbers, and new spark plugs. Due to the storage, the vehicle may still require light fine-tuning or technical maintenance.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle is delivered with a US title and European import documents (all EU import duties and taxes have been paid). The original instruction books and original German license plates are also included. As this is a classic vehicle registered before 1996, a COC document is not required for registration within Europe.
The vehicle can be viewed and possibly collected in Damwoude, Netherlands. Bids exclude transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership, and any further registration costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
