The Paul Bracq-designed W108/109 Series Mercedes-Benz saloons manufactured from 1965 to 1972 replaced the top-end models of the ‘Fintail' era. The series, known for its innovative technology and timeless design, was initially powered by the engine line-up based on that of the outgoing W111 model. Available with either a four-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the car's advanced features, such as air suspension, power-assisted steering, and four-wheel disc brakes, were considered cutting-edge for the time and contributed to its reputation for exceptional performance and ride comfort. The SE's classic styling, characterised by its elongated hood and understated appearance, has since become an instantly recognisable design element that continues to captivate car enthusiasts to this day.

Appearing in the attractive combination of Havana Brown with a Light Tan leather interior, this smart 250 SE is one of relatively few originally produced in right-hand drive form for the British and Irish markets and was supplied new by Isaac Agnew Ltd. of Belfast. It has had nine known keepers over the course of its life, and the vendor has cared for it since 2018. Previous owners also appear to have taken good care of the car, and in 2015 it was treated to a new exhaust system.

The Mercedes has really benefitted greatly from the present ownership, though, and work completed and new parts fitted since 2018 include a gearbox overhaul, two new shock absorbers, fresh ignition equipment, new injectors and new front and rear springs, the vendor’s expenditure coming to some £5,000 on parts and specialist services. As one would expect, the documents file has been well-kept and a large collection of invoices and MOTs testifies to the continuous attention it has received. Also present are the V5C, a workshop manual, an original owner’s manual and period sales literature. Mercedes of this era are famed for being well-engineered and dependable, so this should be an ideal example of a classic which can happily be pressed into regular use.
