We are very pleased to bring to market this amazing Mercedes 220SEb Coupe from 1966, finished in midnight Blue with beautiful contrasting grey leather interior. Fitted with 4-speed column change auto gearbox, power steering, servo brakes, front discs, walnut fascia, front and rear armrests, manual windows, original 13-inch steel wheels with trim rings and hubcaps, original radio, front and rear seatbelts, it has been fully restored and shows a believed genuine 52,000 miles.

We are grateful to the vendor for the following information:

“This is one of the most desired Mercedes models of the 1960s, beloved of film stars and the very wealthy when new, and a lasting style icon which shows most modern cars up to be passing fads and slaves to ever changing fashion. The flowing lines of its Paul Bracq designed coachwork are seemingly even more beautiful now than when it was new, and it is presented in a colour scheme which shows it off to perfection. Few models from any maker, old or new, have anything like its presence.

This example was ordered new by a veterinary surgeon from York, who kept it for 11 years until 1977, by which time it was showing its age somewhat. It then went to another gentleman in York who was a chauffeur at the Rowntree’s chocolate factory. He used it as an everyday car for some years while carrying out a “rolling restoration” as time permitted but eventually took it off the road to do a proper full restoration. We have a ring binder full of parts invoices including things such as new front and rear wings, boot lid, stainless steel exhaust, fuel pump, brake components, suspension components, ignition components, starter motor, alternator, head gasket set, top end engine overhaul, unleaded conversion, headlining, hubcaps and trim rings, body mouldings, chrome sill covers, all rubber seals, new brightwork, full rechroming, glass, and hundreds of hoses, clips, clamps, grommets, gaskets, fasteners, nozzles, seals, bushes, filters, escutcheons, mountings, coverings etc. The car was also treated to a bare metal repaint, full undersealing and refurbishment of the interior.

The restoration was done gradually as time and funds permitted, with no expense spared, and was not finished until 2009. Unfortunately by that time, the owner was suffering poor health which prevented him driving any distance and he had retired from work. As a result, the car spent all of its time in the heated garage at his home.”

The history file is amazing and has so much information with it in the form of invoices and receipts, owner details and a copy of a magazine article featuring this very example. This all gives you confidence that it has been cherished, even down to the fact that the vendor has just had it MOT’d before he sells it. This speaks volumes for the care and attention, as it does not need one being 59 years old. If you are a serious collector you really need to have this car in your collection, either as a show piece or as a great car to use on a more regular basis. We all know it is well capable of being a daily driver, now that would be very cool! There are not many of these about and even less in this condition, so be quick.
