Description
Another wonderful convertible Mercedes-Benz. We love these, and such a good and solid example this is. Dressed in iconic silver over tan, she perfectly showcases the quality Mercedes-Benz is, and was renowned for in the 1960's. Fully restored around a decade ago, she remains in outstanding condition, radiating the charm of her era with the added benefit of usability in today's world.
Her silver exterior gleams with a rich depth that emphasizes her flowing lines and tasteful chrome accents. Inside, her tan leather interior is a warm and inviting space. The seats remain wonderfully supple, offering the kind of comfort that defines luxury, while the wood trim, though ready for some rejuvenation, speaks to her character and history. With a touch of attention, her cabin would shine as brightly as her exterior.
Under the bonnet, she houses a 2.2-litre inline-six engine-a robust and smooth powertrain that delivers 120 horsepower with remarkable refinement. What makes our car particularly desirable is her optional automatic transmission, a feature highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. This gearbox transforms her driving experience, making her an effortless companion whether cruising through city streets or gliding along a country lane. The convenience and smooth operation of the automatic transmission add a modern touch to her classic appeal, allowing for relaxed motoring without sacrificing performance.
She starts reliably, even on the coldest mornings, and delivers her power with an effortless grace that feels at home in any setting. Her suspension glides over imperfections in the road, while her precise steering ensures she is as easy to handle as she is beautiful to behold. Driving her is a true pleasure-a seamless blend of elegance and usability that few cars of her era can match.
As a cabriolet, she offers an exclusivity that her coupe sibling cannot rival, with far fewer examples produced. Her timeless silver-over-tan color combination adds to her desirability, making her a standout wherever she goes. She's not just a car; she's a statement-a reminder of a time when craftsmanship, luxury, and performance were in perfect harmony.
For anyone seeking a classic car that combines beauty, usability, and rarity, our 220 SE Cabriolet is a wonderful opportunity. With her restored condition, iconic specification, and desirable automatic transmission, she promises to delight her next custodian, whether as a cherished addition to a collection or as a car to enjoy on spirited weekend drives. She's ready to make memories and turn heads wherever she travels.
