Description
The elegant W111 from Mercedes-Benz was introduced in 1959 and encompassed many variants until the end of production in 1971. Among the most sought-after models were the two-door versions, the last hand-built cars from Mercedes-Benz in the tradition of German craftsmanship.
The W113 SL "Pagoda" wasn't the only Paul Bracq-designed Mercedes-Benz cabriolet on offer during the early 1960s. If you wanted a little more space and luxury, there was also a convertible variant of the supremely accomplished W111.
The luxurious interior projected quality, with solid wood finishes, tasteful chrome accents, and leather upholstery that was thick and stylish. The driving experience and handling were a constant reminder of the excellent craftsmanship. It is not surprising that these cars quickly became favourites among celebrities and important figures, often seen in the most luxurious destinations worldwide. This is a beautiful, UK right hand drive Mercedes-Benz W111 220SE Cabriolet (Type W111) with automatic transmission and matching numbers. The vehicle has been in Cyprus since 1973.
The car has only driven 63, 000 miles and is still in very original and good condition. This Mercedes is finished in the timelessly beautiful combination of cream and red leather interior,"
The body looks magnificent and has clearly been cherished. The sheet metal is still in very good condition, and the various body parts have very nice fittings. The paint has been re-sprayed once for cosmetic reasons and still looks beautiful. The convertible top is easy to operate and fits nicely everywhere. The car sits on the original steel wheels with hubcaps that are partially chromed and partially painted in the colour of the car.
The car has been in dry storage in Cyprus for over 20 years and therefore is not subject to rust as many cars of this age have been over the years in worse climates. The vehicle has just passed an MOT in Cyprus and if you are not aware the Cypriot MOT standards are much higher than in the United Kingdom. The vehicle will be sent back to the UK and can be viewed subject to appointment. Please call for further information. Vehicle registration number GL408 will not be supplied with the vehicle.
