Mercedes-Benz 250 C 2.8 — 1975

This Mercedes 250C W114 boasts a unique history. It was owned by the Philipsson family, prominent as Sweden's main Mercedes agent, but what makes it truly intriguing is that it was initially sold and used in Nice, France, by his sister.

Description

This car has a remarkable history. It was originally owned by the sister of Gunnar Philipsson, who served as the main agent for Mercedes-Benz in Sweden. She used the car for local trips to cocktail parties and social events in Nice, in the south of France. Sadly, she passed away in her late 90s.

A good Swedish friend subsequently took possession of the car but barely drove it, feeling that it was too large for her needs. The current owner, also a passionate collector, had the opportunity to meet the lady in France and, after some persuasion, she agreed to sell the car to him. In 2017, the car was imported and registered in Sweden.

The current mileage of 31,982 km may well be accurate, given that it was primarily driven locally and spent many years garaged. Although this mileage can't be independently verified, even in the worst-case scenario, with 131,982 km, it remains exceptionally low.

As an added bonus, this car comes with a special handmade car cover that is custom-fitted to the car, providing extra protection and care.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car is well-maintained, stored in a garage during the winter months, and has undergone regular maintenance. It features recent replacements for worn parts, including a new exhaust system and battery. The engine bay is clean and well-kept, and it comes with attractive wheels and good tires

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is entirely original, showing typical signs of age-related wear. Leather trims, seats, and door cards are undamaged but would benefit from cleaning and conditioning. Carpets and the headliner are in good condition but could use a cleaning. New seat belts have been installed. The dashboard, trims, and gauges are clean and functional, with no cracks, but there's a slight warp in the speaker cover. All electric windows work perfectly.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car's bodywork is in good condition and has been well-preserved, thanks to its dry climate exposure in France. It underwent partial repainting in the early 1990s, primarily on the wings and lower body. While the overall paintwork still looks bright and clean, there are some blisters evident around the chrome trim on the front wing and door, as depicted in the pictures. The chrome work is generally in good shape, with only a minor dent on the front right bumper corner and a small paint scrape on the passenger door and wing.

  • General condition:

    These cars are highly sought after due to their classic coupe design, and this particular one is in good condition. Most of the fixes needed are primarily cosmetic and can be addressed gradually over time. The car can be enjoyed in its current state for many years to come..

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
