The Appeal
Oh Mercedes, when did it all go wrong? You used to build the most elegant, beautifully-made luxury saloons, coupés and convertibles in the world. And now you make the A Class.
The good news is, that Car & Classic is able to offer you the very best from the Mercedes-Benz back catalogue, namely this utterly gorgeous "Heckflosse" W111 220 SEB Coupé. Formerly part of the prestigious Kemp Auto Museum collection in the USA, this stunning car has since made its way to the UK and has been registered here since 2016.
The vendor tells us:
"The history of the vehicle is unknown, but I have had correspondence with a former museum employee who used the car for a short period before it was sold along with all the museum exhibits. He informed me that the car was purchased along with a convertible from an elderly couple who were members of the Mercedes Classic Owners Club. The car has the original Becker Mexico radio also. Although the underside of the vehicle is undercoated any inspection is welcome and it has clearly been done for protection not to hide any defects. The vehicle has been stored indoors and has both an indoor and outdoor cover."
As the photographs attest, this car presents impeccably for its age and is highly original throughout save for the retrofitted air conditioning.IMG_0300 David Blanchard.jpeg2.02 MB
