1968 Mercedes Benz 250S Drive W108

A short drive in my 1968 Mercedes Benz 250S (W108) demonstrating engine performance, transmission shifting, and some interior functions. Originally created for the car's listing on Bring a Trailer.

Damn. That things shifts RIGHT NOW. Love the little punch it makes when shifting under load.😍And the 250 engine sounds glorious.

Those 108 series in my opinion were the nicest limousines ever been made.

[@Engineering_Rebel]

The 600 grosser was theoretically better

[@vinayak4859]

@@Engineering_Rebel ya the nicest is 600, but if you want the best of both worlds practicality and comfort you pick this but I would still pick the 600

Hello Jaime, I have a 1968 mercedes with the same gear shift, do you shift to the 4th gear from the beginning and then you accelerate from 0 to 60 using the gas pedal only(without shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd...)

[@jaimekop]

The behavior is different depending on which position you select on the shifter. With 4 or 3 and pressing the kick down switch from a stop, you should get first gear, and early shift to second, then up to redline and shift to third. If you select position 2, the transmission will start in first and run to redline before shifting to second… this is the maximum acceleration but also the most violent! Normally I leave it in 4 for most starts.

The 250S is ok but not that reliable as the 280 S/SE.
