Take some planks/blocks along. The tow dolly ramps may be too steep
to climb backwards. you can lessen the incline with the planks.
Because the front tires are closer to the bumper, they go right up
the ramps. The distance to the bumper from the rear tires causes
the bumper to hang up on the ramps and a lot of MBs (and other cars).
If you don't have planks, take bricks or blocks. Anything to get the
rear tires higher than ground level before it starts up the ramps.
Even a floor jack under the diff, if you can back the dolly under the
tires or are on concrete where you can roll the jack and the car back
together onto the ramps.
Thanks.

Air pressure in front tires low (20-25psi) and go slow. <55. I
towed a 110 hundreds of miles with a 111. Towed 123s similar

Best if your tow vehicle is twice as heavy as the towed vehicle.
GO slow and allow lots of stopping distance clearance. Never jam
on the brakes. Easy does it.
I have to move a '68 250S about 55 miles tomorrow, and my usual
trailer is unavailable. Is it OK to tow backwards with a dolly
(rear wheels on dolly)? The steering column locks.
Thanks,
Jon
