Description

Our beautiful 220 SEb factory convertible is for sale here, featuring a dreamlike color combination of red with a light beige full-leather interior.
It is a vehicle imported from California to Germany in 2017. Particularly noteworthy is the practically like-new full-leather interior.

Since its acquisition, practically the entire mechanical system has been renewed from the ground up. Here is a rough overview of the major work carried out:

  • Engine completely rebuilt, pistons first oversize
  • Injection pump and valves overhauled
  • Fuel pump and fuel lines renewed
  • New radiator core and water pump
  • Ignition system rebuilt, new cables and spark plugs
  • Steering box overhauled
  • New engine and transmission mounts
  • Suspension: new front and rear axle bushings and shock absorbers
  • New ATE front brake calipers
  • New rear drum brakes
  • New brake hoses
  • New upper and lower front control-arm mountings on the frame
  • Control-arm axle mountings fitted with new bushings
  • New steering linkage including steering damper
  • New right rear axle bearing
  • New starter switch
  • Complete cavity sealing
  • New Michelin tires with 30 mm whitewalls
  • Conversion to H4 headlights, hazard warning system
  • Conversion of license plate lighting to European specification
  • New leather interior (an additional 1 m² piece of leather is also available)
  • New carpets
  • Window regulator mechanism overhauled
  • New window guide profiles
  • Conversion to km speedometer (original available, crack in glass)

There are, of course, countless smaller jobs in addition, as is usual with a classic car.
The vehicle is complete with no missing parts. Wherever conversions have been carried out, the original parts are still available and will be included.
Since its import from California, I have been the first owner; the vehicle history in the USA is fully documented with receipts and supporting documents.
A complete body seal kit is also available and can be purchased along with the vehicle, as can various spare parts.

Unfortunately, the vehicle's two drawbacks are the condition of the paintwork and the soft top, which we have already taken into account in the asking price.
After more than 60 years, the car has been through a lot, and accordingly one could consider giving it a new paint job. We have brought the paintwork into as good a condition as possible, but for an even better result this step would probably be necessary.

Viewing and test drive are gladly possible at any time by appointment.
