Mercedes-Benz 220 SEB Cabriolet RHD Auto

The 220SEB Cabriolet premiered at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961 in celebration of 75 years of Mercedes-Benz, sales immediately shot through the roof and before long there was a year long waiting list

Their superb build quality and design offered "no wind noise" in the cabin as occupants could expect to feel as though they were in a hard top coupe until they put the top down

This car especially feels a splendid example, it was restored in 2013 by a well-known TV restorer filmed on Classic obsession on Youtube. It started life in poor condition and was completely rebuilt using all genuine Mercedes panels and parts.  Evidence of the stickers is still present under the body which shows it had a cared for life in the garage and dry use.  Some very minor paint blemishes to small areas but very honest and very presentable. The Boot lid has recently been repainted and a full paint polish to bring the best of best to display.

Within the file are substantial bills as well as nearly 1000 pictures showing the car at all the various stages of the restoration, on top of some lovely early history in her original service booklet and all of the maintenance carried out by the most recent keeper.

Since the restoration she has lived in a collection of similarly special cars and been looked after perfectly as one might expect

When Inspecting the car, one could easily assume the restoration was just completed such was the quality of the work at the time and so well has she been looked after since. A joy to own and be used for the next new owner.

UK supplied RHD examples of these are exceedingly rare, depending on your source only 192 RHD 220SEB Cabriolets were ever produced, making this one of the rarest Mercedes-Benz cars possible to own!

Finished in the classic colour combination of silver over tan this example is an utter joy to use, everything operates seamlessly; the hood can easily be operated by one person, the poppers on the hood bag all line up perfectly to the body, the windows & door shuts are all vacuum tight, the heater is toasty warm, the column selector accurate and correct.  The wood sits accurate across the dash and still shines from its ten years plus restoration.

She drives like a dream too with the total absence of any creaks or squeaks as you float along on a magic carpet ride of soft leather and German steel. Just pure unadulterated peaceful motoring, very nice. Elegant, sophisticated motoring at its best.
