Technically, these correspond to the sedans, which debuted in February 1962, i.e. just one year after the sedan (and the 111 coupés and convertibles), and remained in the range until December 1967, i.e. two years longer than their four-door sister models (only 4 years shorter than the 111 coupes and convertibles). Unlike the sedans, they do not have fashionable tail fins, a lower roof line and therefore generally look more elegant and timeless, giving them classic status much earlier. That timelessness also made it possible to build them virtually unchanged alongside the successors to the 112 sedans, the S-classes of the W 108/W 109 series. However, only 2419 coupés (model 112.021) and 708 convertibles (model 112.023) were built in total.
The body styles of both models were produced in the W 111 series from 1967 with a lower radiator front ("flat radiator", as opposed to the previous high radiator), until 1971, when a successor model based on the W 116 S-Class saloon , which was about to premiere, became available but was not posted. Instead, Daimler-Benz developed a coupe based on the then also presented new SL roadster (R 107), the proportions of which (much longer wheelbase) are controversial.
Technology and Drive
All W 112 are equipped with special technical features as standard. They are the actual, prestige-enhancing difference to the W 111 models:
Six-cylinder engine with mechanical injection in the intake manifold and initially 118 kW, from February 1964 with 125 kW
newly developed four-speed automatic transmission from Daimler-Benz newly developed air suspension for constant vehicle height in all load situations
Disc brakes front and rear
Power steering
limited slip differential
Brake damping on the rear axle for constant camber
The car here is finished in light blue metallic and has a dark blue leather interior, a characteristic white steering wheel and a beautiful Becker radio. It is the automatic version and the Mercedes has the standard air suspension. The chrome that has been applied extensively on this car adorns it enormously. It is therefore a chic appearance for the real Mercedes fan.
