Owning a classic Mercedes-Benz from the Sixties is a special thing. This is the era when Mercedes-Benz was truly gaining a reputation that was several steps above the rest. It wasn’t just luxury that they were playing on, but sheer build quality and sturdiness. Let’s take this 1969 Mercedes-Benz 250 Sedan as an example. This car comes from the W114 generation. Competing in the executive car segment, the W114 was made between 1968 and 1976. And as time passed by, the W114 became quite the collector’s item. Just cast your eyes upon this fine 43,142-mile example, with all maintenance reportedly up to date, and it’s hard to not want to own this car. Well, it’s up for sale with us right now.

Exterior and Interior

The Royal Blue paintwork of this 1969 Mercedes-Benz 250 Sedan does a fine testament to the penmanship of Paul Bracq, widely regarded as one of the finest automotive designers of all time. He’s still alive at the time of writing, by the way. No doubt he’d be proud of the way this car has aged gracefully. You’ll also be glad, especially as this car comes in great condition. All lighting lenses are clear, badging is intact, and the chrome elements look great. Even the chrome-tipped exhaust finisher is near-pristine. The interior of this 1969 Mercedes-Benz 250 Sedan comes with comfortable tan leather upholstered seats, and looks ready to do family duties if needed. Actually, you could easily do family duties in this car, even today. It’s got fully functional air conditioning and a modern JVC AM/FM radio. That’s not all; there’s also a CD player so you can listen to your tunes of choice as you steer this timeless classic down the roads, or highways.

Engine

Highways are no biggie for this 1969 Mercedes-Benz 250 Sedan. Thanks to its 2.5-liter in-line six-cylinder powerplant, the car can easily maintain highway speeds with no fuss. The rear wheels are driven, and you’ll be glad for the smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic gearbox that drives them. Then, you’ve got power steering and power brakes too.
