Beautiful 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Ponton Cabriolet This gorgeous 1960 Mercedes Benz 220SE is a California car wearing a quality older restoration. Red with tan leather interior and black soft-top. Shift on the column manual transmission. This Ponton runs and drives superb and is ready to be enjoyed by its next loving owner. A very clean straight and solid example with no rust. An attractive and strong driver with lots of charm. It was originally born as a highly sought after black car. It currently wears nice red paint chromework and interior. The wood has been redone in more of a matte non-gloss finish. In 1958 the 220 range was updated with a fuel-injected version of the 2.2-litre overhead-camshaft six becoming the 220SE. Maximum power increased to 115bhp and there was a useful improvement in acceleration the 0-60mph time reducing by two seconds. By the time production ceased in November 1960 fewer than 2 000 220SE Coup and Cabriolet models had been manufactured and today these stylish and luxuriously equipped Grand Tourers are highly prized. One of the company s most elegant creations the 220 SE Cabriolet is a fantastic display of refinement build quality and effortless performance. Even today the 220 SE remains a joy to drive making this timeless and well-maintained example a must have.
