Mercedes-Benz 220 SE coupe Swiss registration Chassis number 128 037 100 0312 1 Displacement 2195 cm3 Power 96 kW First registration 22.04.1960 Last expertise 27.07.2018 Mileage 61 000 km (odometer reading) In 1952, a brand new model appeared at Mercedes Benz. The 180, called "Ponton". This name comes from its ultra modern line for the time. Indeed, the wings are (finally) integrated into the line, which was not the case until this model. The engine is either a 4-cylinder gasoline or a 4-cylinder diesel. In 1956, it goes up in range with the appearance of the 6 cylinders in line of 2,2l, available in version gasoline with carburetors or injection. In order to accommodate this voluminous engine, the hood was lengthened by several centimetres, which gave it more presence. The cabriolet and the coupé, two luxury models, appear almost simultaneously. They are sold at a high price because of the very high quality of the materials (wood, leather) and the important manufacturing and care given to the finish on these specific bodies. Regularly maintained, these cars have survived the decades without a hitch! The model presented, a 1960 coupe, the last year of production, is in impeccable condition, as can be seen. In its black livery and very elegant red leather, it combines good discretion with a bold touch. Long owned by a Swiss Mercedes collector, it was sold to its current owner, also a great collector of the brand and an enlightened and meticulous amateur. It drives perfectly. The engine and gearbox run flawlessly and provide a real sense of reliability and a remarkable driving pleasure. There is no cost to drive this magnificent car!
