250C pics
Peachers,
I just gave Fritz a good wash this weekend and thought I'd post a few pics. The car runs great. I've put a little work into the vehicle and there's still more to do but hey, that's half the fun, right? The forum has been a great source of help since I purchased the car last year, thanks to all for creating such a valuable resource!

What a beautiful car. It's nice to see the W114 coupes gaining so much attention. The have a lot of the old world charm but with new car ride and handling.

I agree with Al (although I can't see the pictures due to a filter at work)...I think the W114 will eventually hit the collector market upswing, just a hunch though. They really can be great cars when they are spruced up to like-new specs (new weatherstripping, tuned up etc)

Love your car, the silver looks more European. I also love that steerin wheel and the tiny bumpers.
Gorgeous car.

I like the silver too but i think that ivory color is also quite nice. Has anyone seen the new W114-W115 /8 forum?
It's fairly quite right now but has some potential. http://mercedesbenzw114swtroke8.myfanforum.org/

I really like your ride too. The thin bumpers are a lot nicer, IMO. Anyway, looks real clean with lots of potential to make it pristine. Any rust at all? Any problems with the Zenith carbs?

Front plate might provide a clue. Jim

JonA, I am fortunate, mine doesn't have any rust and it was originally a Southern California car. If the rust is quite bad, the only way I know of (from these forums) is find a good W114, cut them out and have them welded into yours. I know a lot of them also have rust low, behind the rear fender wells. I only used mine as a daily driver for about the first 4 years of ownership (I've had it over 24 years), and now it sits in the garage or storage unless the weather is nice out. No chance of rust now.
