Ulysse

Welcome.  Great that you will restore this 250.  Based only on the drivers side mirror I am guessing this is a later 250 vs an early 250?

Please share your restoration photos directly on this site. Many would appreciate that. 

Best

Firstly welcome to the Group.


If you have not restored a Pagoda before, you my find that Full Membership, giving you access to the full Technical Manual etc will help in ensuring that you maintain originality as you do your restoration on the vehicle.


I am biased of course😄

Based on your VIN you have a later 250 with manual transmission,  same as my 250.

This is great, traveled to Caracas many times on business ( Years Ago ). Saw many great old Mercedes around, knew the cost of restoring in Venezuela was far less than in the states, seriously thought of bringing some cars down for restorations.
