Story and History

1965 Mercedes Benz 220SEB Coupe - 3 owners only & complete service history

*** New Price ***

This magnificent W111 Coupe is in quite remarkable condition and has only covered less than 80.000 miles since new

The first owner kept her until 1982 and all original instruction manuals and service voucher booklet are kept within the history folder to confirm the usage and mileage at that time

Since then the service work have all been carried out by our chum Steve Redfearn from Wimbledon - ie 35 years of continual maintenance

The 3rd owner purchased her in 1994 and again Steve was requested to continue to look after her and he kept her for a further 10 years where upon owner number 2 brought her back again!!

She has hardly been used in this time, although regular repairs and updates have been continued as was he previously maintenance policy - even another check over this Autumn, just for good order

In more recent times she has benefited from a full engine rebuild, an upgraded air conditioning compressor and the interior has been refreshed with new hides for the front seats

The rear seats and all door cards did not require any attention as they are in more than fine condition

The paintwork was refreshed in the early 1990's and the chrome is almost perfect - save for a couple of marks to the bumpers

Originally supplied by Mercedes Benz to the original owner in Germany she was specified with nearly ever extra available, other than electric windows

Metallic paint work (champagne metallic), black leather interior, metal sunroof, automatic transmission, power steering, air conditioning by Behr & sundym glass were ticked on the option list - we've known a W111 coupe with 6 cylinders with such a specification before

Even a new Rolls-Royce didn't have all of these options when new in 1965 when this car was built

We have had a few of these luxurious coupes over the years and this must be as good as you can find anywhere
