1966 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Cabriolet for Sale in Germany

This 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Cabriolet is a used car showing 78,426 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Blaumetallic (DB 387) with a Natural interior.

Mercedes-Benz made 954 examples of the 250 SE Cabriolet between 1965 and 1967, the open W 111 with the injected 2.5-litre six. According to its data card, this one still has the engine, the paint and the trim it left the factory with: blue metallic, code DB 387, over natural leather.

Supplied new to the United States in 1966, it came back to Germany in 2020 and has had one owner here since. It is largely untouched, its body structure very well preserved, with a careful partial restoration on that basis, and its mechanicals have been maintained and overhauled over the years.

The car is located in Hamburg, Germany.

The Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Cabriolet uses the 2,496 cc M129 straight-six with Bosch mechanical injection, shared with the W108 saloon, rated at 150 PS (110 kW), for 190 km/h, or 185 km/h with the automatic, with a manual gearbox or an automatic, driving the rear wheels. It took the W108's 14-inch wheels and larger brakes, now discs on the rear wheels too. Paul Bracq drew the two-door body without the saloon's tail fins; the cabriolet has a fabric hood.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 250 SE in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz priced above or below the European market?

At €159,500, it sits above the median of €134,370 for the 527 Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. 59% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Hamburg, Germany. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz 250 SE cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €13,779 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €159,500, 1058% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1966 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

78,426 km recorded, against a median of 21,000 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz are priced closest to this one?

a 2024 car in Germany at €159,500, and a 2027 car in Germany at €159,496. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 250 SE, and how does a purchase work?

Thiesen, a professional dealer in Hamburg, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 250 SE be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Hamburg, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.
