Description
1963 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet (W111) Four-seater convertible, hand-built by Mercedes-Benz. Carefully maintained by the same owner for more than ten years. One of just 2,729 examples produced. Mercedes-Benz has a long tradition of convertibles with room for more than two people. As early as the 1930s, open Mercedes models were available with space for the whole family, a tradition that continues today with the Mercededes CLE Cabriolet. One of the most elegant examples is the W111 Cabriolet, designed by French automotive designer Paul Bracq, who was responsible for several of Mercedes-Benz·'s most distinctive models of the 1960s. At almost five metres in length, it offers generic space for four, while its impressing proportions and elegance lines create a beautifully balanced whole. This particular example was delivered new to a customer in Arizona in 1963 and arrived in Denmark in 2008. Today, it is presented in European specification, featuring the characteristic upright headlights that have become one of the most recognisable elements of Mercedes-Benz design from the period. The odometer reads 84,200 km, a figure that appears consistent with the car hose overall condition and presentation. The paintwork is finished in Papyrus White, while the period-correct MB-Tex interior and soft top are finished in blue. The colour combination is complementary by an ivory-coloured steeling wheel and gear knots, along with a well-preserved walnut dashboard. The original Becker Mexico radio and clock remains in place. Under the bonnet sits a 2.2-lite straight-six, delivering smooth running and the well-balanced sound of a six-cylinder engine. The manual gearbox is a shower-after option and, together with the power steering, makes the car particularly easy and enjoyable to drive. Behind the wheel, it is easy to see why the W111 Cabriolet is so highly related among classic Mercedes-Benz models, combing elegant open-top motoring with searing for four. The car is registered in Denmark and comes with historically correct black number plates as well as its original data card. With just 2,729 examples produced, the W111 Cabriolet is a nice car, and this example presents as a well-maintained representative of one of Mercedes-Benz Model: Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet (W111) Year: 1963 Engine: 2,195-litre, six-cylinder, 120 hp.
