1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet
1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet
The Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet is one of the most elegant and desirable models to emerge from the celebrated Ponton era, combining sophisticated engineering with the understated styling and exceptional craftsmanship for which the marque has long been renowned. Manufactured between 1958 and 1960, the W128 220 SE, with its 2,195cc straight-six engine, Bosch mechanical fuel injection, delivering impressive performance and refinement for its time. The model's independent suspension and carefully engineered chassis provided a comfortable yet assured driving experience, while its beautifully proportioned cabriolet coachwork offered open-top motoring in considerable style. The 220 SE Cabriolet was produced in relatively limited numbers, making surviving examples particularly appealing to collectors. Its combination of rarity, engineering sophistication and timeless design has ensured its enduring standing among the most attractive post-war Mercedes-Benz models. With its elegant lines, luxurious character and distinguished three-pointed-star heritage, the W128 220 SE Cabriolet remains a highly desirable representative of Mercedes-Benz's golden age of automotive manufacture.
Originally registered on 11th October 1960, this 220 SE has been stored for the last five years and will require some recommissioning. Appearing to be a good solid, sound example, this Ponton is finished in metallic blue with grey leather interior. Clearly restoration work has been carried out on 947 HYK which appears to have been to a good standard, the hood is also in good order. This super rare right hand drive 220 SE is a model that perfectly encapsulates the quality, engineering excellence and effortless elegance that have become synonymous with the Mercedes-Benz name.
