Vehicle Description

This W111 Coupé was first delivered in 1964 to a shoe factory owner in Pirmasens (original registration document is available). The two-tone paint in white with black hardtop and white bakelite steering wheel give the car the typical flair of the 60s. With its large sunroof, the lack of B-pillars and the completely retractable windows, it feels almost like a convertible.
The black leatherette interior has been completely refurbished, other components of the interior such as the wooden door panels present themselves largely in original condition with an appropriate degree of patina. The chrome is complete and, like the body, without major damage. The rear bumper displays small signs of impact, there is a scratch on the trunk lid and a tiny dent in the front fender and minor blemishes of this kind.
The 2.2 litre injection engine with 88 kW (120 hp) is fitted, coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission.
There is a Classic Data brief appraisal of EUR 27,000 (condition: 3).
The Mercedes has valid technical approval until 03/2016 as well as historic plates.
A well-kept and carefully part-restored “high radiator coupé” to drive and enjoy.

In 1961, production of these great vehicles of the series W111, of which the French liked to refer to as “Grand Routier”, began with the 220 SE Coupé. After that, engine sizes and prices of the coupes just kept going up.

The earlier models of this series are commonly referred to as “high radiator coupés”, to distinguish them from the later models: As a precursor to the W116, the front of the vehicle was, as of 1969, equipped with a lower radiator grille, now referred to as “flat radiator coupé”.
The 220 SEb / C was the first mass-production Mercedes car with disc brakes on the front wheels.

The rich wooden interior, the thick leather upholstery, comfortable seats and generous space invite you to travel in the most stylish and comfortable way you can imagine.
