1972 Mercedes-Benz W114 250c coupe | London

The W114 250c is a six-cylinder pillarless coupé from the early 1970s, liked for its relaxed manner and open-sided look. With every window lowered, the front and rear of the cabin merge into one airy space with no pillar in view. This car is cream with a cream interior, a single soft tone that reads cleanly on camera, and it is in excellent condition. Its 2500cc engine works with an automatic gearbox, so the drive is smooth and unhurried. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, the front passenger steps out on the road side, and the car carries a continental look. It seats four. Photography and fashion and editorial work gain the unobstructed side view, and the pale cabin lifts well in daylight. Film and TV productions set in 1970s Europe get period lines and the left-hand-drive layout, and events suit a coupé that looks elegant parked up. It also makes a graceful arrival for a wedding or a special day out. The car is based in London.
