Supercinco ◊ 2009-09-29 19:06	So, you mean, only the 250 models featured hubcaps with no holes on them, right ? I think I've seen 280 models with that same hubcaps.

These hubcaps was standard fitting on the [W111] coupé, the Pagoda and from 1965 the [W108] and [W109], not to mention the 300 SL, until early 1968. The problem with Mercedes is that it's an impossibility to judge from outside what engine is fitted, as they all looked the same. This body (short rear doors exclude [W109]) with these hupcaps was available with 2.5 litre twin carb, 2.5 litre fuel injection, 3.0 litre fuel injection and (only, as far as I can work out, the first few mounths in 1968) 2.8 litre twin carb. That would be 250 S, 250 SE, 300 SEb and 280 S. But then again, 300 SE was a rather unusual model (only 2.737 built) and only a few 280 S looked like this, so by far the most likely models are 250 S or 250 SE.
