1972 Mercedes-Benz 250 Saloon Single family ownership until 2018 and 16,600 miles from new
Lot details
Registration No: GKL 245L
Chassis No: 11401122025370
MOT: Exempt Single-family ownership (father and son) until acquisition by the current owner in 2018 Genuine 16,574 miles from new, and condition to match. Original ‘Bookpack’ includes service book, owners handbook, warranty car, etc Truly outstanding ‘timewarp’ example, with serious Concours potential Definitely, a case of ‘the car will speak for itself!’
Introduced in 1968, Mercedes-Benz’s ‘New Generation’ W114/115 models (otherwise known as the /8 series) were intended to attract new buyers to the marque and hence broaden its customer base. Typically well-engineered, they featured all-round, independent coil-sprung suspension and four-wheel disc brakes together with revised manual and four-speed automatic transmissions. Towards the upper end of the W114 range, the 250 was powered by a 2778cc SOHC six-cylinder engine that developed some 128bhp and 159lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 109mph, the Stuttgart factory's legendary build quality helped make it a strong sales success.
Described as ‘a truly outstanding example with serious concours potential’, ‘GKL 245L’ is warranted to have covered just 16,600 miles from new. A real ‘timewarp’ machine, it was in single family ownership (father and son) until being acquired by the vendor during 2018. Finished in White with contrasting Green MB-Tex upholstery, the four-door saloon is rated by the seller as being in ‘very good’ (bodywork, paintwork, automatic gearbox, electrical equipment, engine) or ‘excellent’ (interior trim) condition. Retaining its factory-fitted M130 2.8 litre straight-six powerplant there can be few – if any – comparable UK-supplied W114 cars left. Said to be ‘a car that very much speaks for itself’, this extraordinary Mercedes-Benz is offered for sale with original book pack comprising its service book, owner’s manual and warranty card etc.
