Timeless Classic: Reviving the Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Automatic
Across the vast landscape of vintage automobiles, the Mercedes-Benz (W111) 250 SE coupe remains a forever classic, a testament to the brand's legendary craftsmanship. This automotive masterpiece, a product of the automaker's legendary craftsmanship, has long been revered by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
When the 250 SE arrived at our workshop, it needed comprehensive inspection, from its mechanical underpinnings to its exquisite exterior. As seasoned vintage car experts, our team knew bringing this Mercedes back to its former glory would require a meticulous, step-by-step approach.
At the heart of the W111's performance lies its renowned 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine, equipped with a complex mechanical fuel injection system. Over the decades, these intricate systems can fall out of precise calibration, compromising engine performance. Our team undertook the painstaking task of cleaning and recalibrating the components in the fuel injection assembly, ensuring the engine would come to life with the power and efficiency it was designed to deliver.
Even after a previous restoration by a third party reported by the owner, the W111's wiring harness required our attention. Our mechanics meticulously worked on rewiring the electrical system to the original manufacturer's specifications. This attention to detail restored reliable starting and operation and ensured the safety and longevity of the vehicle's electrical systems.
The result is a Mercedes-Benz 250 SE coupe that is nothing short of a masterpiece. Fully roadworthy and brimming with the timeless elegance that defined this iconic model, the restored 250 SE is now ready to provide its new owner with an unforgettable driving experience – a testament to the unparalleled commitment of our Vintage Vehicle Mechanic team. We also carried out an MOT test and organized a flatbed tow truck delivery back to the client for a seamless experience.
