1967 Merc 250S - Where do I put fuel in it??
Yeah, sounds stupid I know, But I found the car two days ago. Love it to bits. Always loved the Stacked headlight saloons. So I went to check it out today but the shop was closed. had a look round but no sign of the fuel flap. Is it in the trunk? if so, left or right?
Hate to sound so ingorant but the oldest Merc I have owned until now was a 1978 230CE which was "conventional" by these standards! Thank you in anticipation of your swift delivery from ignorance. this is the car in question, lest there be any doubt. |

damn it!
I looked there but it seemed to be a normal fitment. I guess I had better go back and see. Damn, it's almost 8pm and I'm after driving down to the yard to go check it out... I must need my head read. Well, what the hell else am I gonna do this evening... Thanks |

A simple thanks does suffice.

There is normally a small chrome 'finger hook' above the plate or to the side that makes pulling the plate down easier. It is possible that this has been removed or just broken off.
This 'center placement' was all the rage on nice cars at that time. You did not have to worry about which pump was available when you pulled in to a filling station. You were not going to be filling it, the attendent did that. It did save you time, though, since you did not have to wait for a pump on the correct side of the car. Hopefully, when you pull down the plate, you will not find a locking gas cap. Pookia |

Its all present and correct! very cool! I love it. I can't wait to be with it everyday. I wish I had more self control than this. I know deep down that in a while it is just gonna be, "my car" but I love this honeymoon period.

No vapours required. The car itself is intoxicating!
