The Mercedes-Benz W111 series was produced from 1959 to 1968 and
was the chassis code that determined its top-range vehicles. This
included four door saloons with two door coupés and cabriolets
being produced from 1961 to 1971.

This lefthand drive example. presented in lovely blue paintwork
with black leather interior. was originally purchased in Rome by
Dario Lenzini. the son of famous Lazio Football club owner. Umburto
Lenzini. from Mercedes-Benz Agent F. Bornigia in June 1962 and sold
for a mere 6. 91. 000 Lira. Registered under Lenzini's name on the
plate ROMA 542235. the current owner bought the car from him in the
summer of 1980 when he transferred it to his work in London and had
it registered under diplomatic status with the plate number
188D172. The current owner's diplomatic status ceased in 1987. at
which point the vehicle gained its UK registration: MYY 481X. The
vendor continued to use the car as his daily driver and maintained
it regardless of cost until he made the decision in 2002 to
completely restore the car to its former glory and thus sent the
car back to Rome for which full details can be found in the history
file.

Offering power assisted steering. servo assisted brakes. a four
speed manual transmission. original Autovox radio with electric
aerial. tailored wooden centre console with storage boxes. extra
light switches and power sockets. this car was clearly spec'd with
no thoughts to budget when new. The current owner has painstakingly
gathered all handbooks and parts guides for a prospective new
owner. together with an impressive history file enclosing all MoT
test certificates since its import in 1980. inclusive of a current
MoT test certificate valid until December 2015. the original bill
of sale and other import documentation. The provenance alone of
this beautifully restored pillarless coupé is impressive and
coupled with driving. as the vendor describes. with 'ease and
elegance'. this is the perfect car for summer.
