Paul, one of our in-house restoration technicians, was given the task of getting the classic Mercedes pointed in the right direction. Carefully pull rechecked the condition of all the splines and arms to make sure once the new steering box went in, it would work perfectly and only add to the experience of driving this incredible classic German coupe.
With the box fitted up into the car and everything tightened, rechecked and tested it was Paul’s job to road test the car and make sure everything was working just as it should. Success! this historic piece of automotive style, luxury and engineering was all set to find it’s new owner later this evening.

The 1966 Mercedes Benz 250SE Coupe is in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop today ahead of its competition draw to have its steering box removed.
On assessment by our in-house restoration teams, it was determined that the steering box would need to be removed and sent away to a specialist that we have used for many of our steering box rebuilds in the past. So, with that, Paul began to remove the box from the W111 Coupe.
After carefully pulling the unit from the car and inspecting all other components and systems connected to the steering box, all was deemed to be ok underneath the large german 2 door grand tourer.
Our lovely 1966 Mercedes 250SE W111 Heckflosse Coupe has been reunited with her owner Chris this week. Bridge Classic Cars have carried out a full report on this stunning classic, to help decide what work to have done in future to keep her in pristine condition.
Chris’ eagerly joined our good friends and fellow classic car lovers over at Vint-Tro to introduce his beautiful motor. In a former life, the car was owned by Britain’s Got Talent Judge David Walliams as well as Fifty Shades of Grey author EL James.
We’re looking forward to the next time we get to welcome the Mercedes 250SE back into our workshop. Until then though, happy driving Chris!
