Description of 1962 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series

NO RESERVE, nbsp;this stunning 1962 220SE Mercedes Benz will sell to the highest bidder!!!
In the late 1950's Mercedes-Benz began replacing the ageing Ponton sedans coupes and cabriolets with an all new car designated internally as the W110/W111.
This new series of mid-range cars became known as Heckflosse - German for "fintail" . As the nickname implies Heckflosse sedans featured prominent tail fins a clear concession to the American market where Mercedes-Benz was desperate to expand.
Coupe and cabriolet variants debuted in 1960 sharing a similar front end design with their stable mates except the fins were drastically toned down. The coupe featured a distinct c-pillar design with a steeply raked wraparound rear screen and a pillarless greenhouse that gave an open and elegant look with the windows down. Full seating for four and a large trunk made it the perfect choice for touring the continent in subdued style.
This elegant 1962 220 SE coupe is finished in an attractive combination of bone white paint over a black leather interior with grey carpets.This is an un-restored example that has been very well maintained during its lifetimeand presents in an honest condition.
The only issue with the car that should be dealt with is the paintwork. Small amount of rust has started and should be nipped in the bud early to preserve this stunning Mercedes Benz.Small amount of rust on the rockers and rear quarters.
Mercedes-Benz's legendary build quality is evident as this car has survived very well in unrestored condition — the bright trim (chrome) is solid and presentable. Inside the airy and comfortable cabin the leather seats upholstered in black still look brand new and would easily suit a concours car.
The overall interior is in very good original condition with the wood generally solid in condition.
Grey carpets havepreviously been changed and show very well. black leather door and dash and wood trim complete the classic 1960's feel. Typically for these cars the dash-top wood is lightly sun-damaged but it is complete and certainly restorable, t this point it is still quite presentable.
It is equipped with an automatic transmission preferred by most 220SE enthusiasts as it is best suited for the relaxed nature of the car. The engine still starts easily and purrs, t has been well maintained.Mercedes-Benz cars of this era are exceptionally well built and reward regular use. They are enjoyable stylish and easy to own classics.
