The Heckflosse (Tailfin) Mercedes-Benz effortlessly entered the luxury market in 1959 and was an instant hit, so much so production lasted until 1971. With a design withstanding the test of time it is easy to see why these luxury 2 door coupes are some of the most collectable in the Mercedes range.
The W111 Mercedes-Benz models featured independent suspension, including at the rear by swing axles and a central, horizontal “compensating” coil spring.
This 250 SE was originally sold by Brisbane Dealership Aust-Star Motors and delivered from Daimler Benz to Queensland. Living a life owned by a string of Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts, it has an extensive list of Concours wins and achievements. In the early 2000’s this classic coupé retained much of its original charm after being fully restored. History has it that at one point prior to its restoration it was used to transport hay bales around a farm near Toowoomba.
