1970 Mercedes-Benz 250 C | W114 Coupe | 2.5L Inline-Six | Automatic | 45,604km | Grey | Right-Hand Drive | Canning Vale WA
Description
The Mercedes-Benz 250 C is one of the most elegant coupes of the early 1970s. Built on the W114 platform, the 250 C paired a silky 2.5-litre inline-six with a three-speed automatic and a pillarless coupe body that made it one of the most stylistically accomplished cars of its era. These are genuinely rare in right-hand drive, and with the market for early W114 coupes strengthening steadily, this is a desirable entry point for a Mercedes collector.
This example presents in honest, preserved condition consistent with its 50-plus year age. The grey exterior carries the natural patina of a car that has lived its life rather than been garaged from new, with light oxidation across the bonnet and roof panels. The body panels remain straight with no evidence of major accident repair or significant structural damage. The iconic Mercedes grille, round headlights, and pillarless coupe roofline are all intact and original. Chrome trim along the windows and waistline shows age-appropriate wear. The interior features blue cloth upholstery and the classic horizontal-bar speedometer and gauge cluster that defined early 1970s Mercedes luxury. The engine bay presents cleanly with the original blue ignition lead set visible and an overall appearance that suggests the car has been maintained rather than neglected.
At 45,604 kilometres, this is a genuinely low-mileage classic for its age. Comparable W114 coupes in similar original, unrestored condition have traded in the AUD $18,000 to $28,000 range, with right-hand drive Australian-delivery examples attracting a premium over European imports. This car sits well within that range. The 250 C offers real usability, a refined inline-six that is well-understood by Mercedes specialists, and a coupe roofline that remains one of the most timeless designs the marque ever produced.
