The 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 mock-ups 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. 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 the
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 220 SE on both versions. with the
identical 2195cc engine.

This lefthand drive 1964 Mercedes-Benz 220 SEb Fixedhead Coupé
was the subject of a restoration sometime in the 2000's. at which
time the engine and manual gearbox were also replaced with a
unit from a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 250 giving it the extra power that
is sometimes lacking in the 220. Recently imported from near
Bergerac in France. this 220 SEb Coupé is finished in cream with a
black painted roof and has the very good original maroon leather
interior. This Mercedes-Benz is supplied with a French registration
document. a French transfer document. a number of invoices. a UK
MoT test certificate which expires in February 2017 and the car has
been registered as being in the UK with NOVA. The 1960's
Mercedes-Benz Fixedhead Coupés are becoming increasingly sought
after by people from all over the world making them a very sound
investment for the future.
