Info about this vehicle:

1970 Mercedes-Benz 250 C Coupe - Grey - 45,604km - Inline-6 AutomaticOverviewThe Mercedes-Benz 250 C represents a pivotal moment in the marque's evolution during the early 1970s. This elegant coupe sits at the intersection of post-war German engineering refinement and the emerging design language that would define Mercedes for decades. The 250 C was the performance-oriented variant of the W114 generation, offering a more powerful inline-six engine paired with automatic transmission, making it an accessible entry point into Mercedes ownership during an era when the brand was establishing itself as a purveyor of accessible luxury. This 1970 example, finished in classic grey, embodies the understated sophistication that defined the era.The exterior presents in honest condition consistent with a vehicle of this age and mileage. The grey metallic finish shows the patina of five decades, with light oxidation across the bonnet and roof panels. The body panels remain straight with no evidence of major accident repair, and the iconic Mercedes grille and round headlights are intact and original. The coupe roofline flows cleanly from the A-pillar to the rear quarter panel, a design hallmark of the W114 platform. Chrome trim around the windows and along the waistline shows age-appropriate wear. The wheels are period-correct steel items with original hubcaps, and the tyres are serviceable. The interior trim is visible through the windows, showing blue cloth upholstery and a dashboard layout typical of early 1970s Mercedes specification, with the characteristic horizontal speedometer and supporting gauges. The engine bay reveals a well-presented inline-six with blue ignition leads and a clean overall presentation, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained rather than neglected.At 45,604 kilometres on the odometer, this 250 C represents a genuinely low-mileage classic. For context, comparable 1970 Mercedes-Benz coupes of this generation have sold in recent years between AUD $18,000 and $28,000 depending on condition and provenance. This example, with its original right-hand-drive configuration, Australian delivery heritage, and unmodified specification, sits squarely in the market sweet spot for collectors seeking an authentic early 1970s Mercedes experience without the premium pricing of higher-spec models or fully restored examples. The 250 C offers genuine usability, reliable inline-six power, and the understated elegance that makes early Mercedes coupes perennial classics.Features* 2.5-litre inline-six petrol engine* Automatic transmission* Right-hand-drive configuration* Original steel wheels with hubcaps* Blue cloth interior trim* Horizontal speedometer with supporting gauges* Period-correct dashboard layout* Original Mercedes grille and round headlights* Chrome window trim a
