1966 250SE Coupe Euro Model Sunroof Manual Transmission. Purchased by Mexico’s president “Adolfo Lopez Mateos” when new, it was then sold to an Argentinian composer/song writer called “Bebu silvetti” whom brought it to southern California in the mid-eighties. He enjoyed Driving it for a while and in the mid-nineties he commissioned a master coach builder “Sebastian Dominguez coachwork & restoration” in Los Angeles area to restore it. Restoration was started by removing fenders and dipping them to bare metal, however process was stopped due to his health issues and it was put away in storage where it sat for last 12+ years. Bebu passed away and restoration was canceled. NOTE: The pictures below this write-up are hosted .Sometimes pictures load slowly depending on the age of your computer and the speed of your connection to the Internet. If they don’t load immediately let your computer just sit and wait for them to load.. Recently After 12 years of hibernation, I purchased the car from Sebastian and had the following repairs done: Complete brake job including all four calipers and brake lines. Rebuild shifter bushing and slave pump, Rebuilt rear Shock stabilizer assembly, flushed radiator, new fuel pump, flushed gas tank, new gas lines and other needed rubber hoses to make it road worthy. It is now running & driving car. It shifts through all gears and idles however it is still in need of fine tuning. Wheels are aluminum and tires are old. It’s blue, Blue leather interior is in need of replacement and is original, the wood dash is complete and in need of varnishing and some repairs. Sunroof works although a bit slow. All lights work, Mexican-Becker original radio in the dash but not working. As far as rust is concerned; there is rust in bottom of rear ¼ panels and both front rails under the front fenders. The rest of the car is solid, no sign of rust on frame. Body is virtually rust free, Doors shut like a Mercedes door! Great car to restore while being driven! An original and unmolested car.
