1963 Mercedes-Benz 220SEb Convertible for sale
Current customer rating: (210 votes ) based onThe Mercedes-Benz W111 series was produced from 1959 to 1968 and
was the chassis code given to its top-range vehicles. including
four door sedans. with two door coupés and cabriolets being
produced from 1961 to 1971. Design of a replacement for the
two-door Pontons began in 1957 as most of the chassis and
drivetrain were to be unified with the saloon with the emphasis on
the exterior styling. Some of the mockups and prototypes show that
Mercedes-Benz attempted to give the two-door car a front styling
similar to the Pagoda roadster. The rear bodywork persisted however
and. as such although officially still called a 'fintail'. the rear
end design had no chrome fin highlights. Production began in late
1960 and in February of the next year the coupé was premiered in
Stuttgart for the 75th anniversary of the opening of Mercedes-Benz
Museum. The convertible followed at the Frankfurt Motor Show a few
months later; the car was almost identical to the coupé with the
soft-top roof folded into a recess behind the rear seat and covered
by a tightly fitting bag. Unlike the previous generation of
two-door ponton series. there was only one model for the two door
vehicle. the 220SE on both versions. with the identical 2195cc
engine.
This elegant example. finished in cream with red leather
interior and complementary black top. was delivered new to the USA
and has been lovingly preserved. Offered in excellent overall
condition. chassis 47097 has been described as fully restored and
carefully maintained by world renowned Mercedes-Benz expert. Steve
Redfearn of Wimbledon. Since the current vendor purchased the car
in 2000. all leather has been replaced and door cappings and
dashboard returned to original specification. 220SEb Convertibles
have all the grace and presence of their larger brethren but at a
more reasonable value. This excellent example will no doubt provide
many more happy miles of top down motoring for its lucky. new
owner.
