The Mercedes-Benz W 111 was a chassis code given to its
top-range vehicles. including four-door saloons produced from 1959
to 1968 and two-door coupés and cabriolets 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.
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.

Manufactured in July 1963. this hearse is extraordinarily
extravagant. The quality of the conversion is superb with exquisite
detail throughout. The exterior is finished in Lapis Blue and the
interior is two-tone brown with a glittered fleck. The bodywork is
in unmarked condition as is the abundance of chromework; even the
glass in the rear is ornately finished. Based on a lefthand drive
220SE with a 2195cc engine. the vehicle is described as driving
with no known faults. Quite simply. this car is like nothing
we have ever seen before; a real eye-catching example and one that
would certainly make an interesting addition to any collection as
well as something to make your business really stand-out!
