Rare W 128 Cabriolet – Engine & Transmission Rebuilt – TÜV 08/2027 – Appraisal Grade 3
For sale is a very elegant and rare Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet from the renowned W 128 (large Ponton) series, built in 1959. With a total production run of just 1,112 units, this model is among the most exclusive and sought-after open-top classics of the Mercedes-Benz post-war era.
The vehicle impresses visually with its timeless combination of metallic brown and a cognac-colored leather interior with exquisite wood trim. It is a drivable collector's vehicle that is currently registered (historic H plate) and has a fresh TÜV inspection valid through August 2027.
Highlights & Technology: • Mechanical Bosch two-plunger fuel injection (115 hp / 85 kW, M 127 six-cylinder) • 4-speed manual transmission (column shift) • Engine and transmission were comprehensively rebuilt in 2017 at a cost of around €35,000 and have since been driven gently for only around 3,000 km • TÜV / roadworthiness inspection valid through 08/2027 (passed with no defects found) • A detailed valuation appraisal by a certified expert from July 2026 is available • Becker car radio with matching appearance and original ivory steering wheel
History & Condition: The vehicle was originally delivered to the USA and re-imported to Germany around 30 years ago. As part of this process, it received its current paintwork as well as the new leather interior.
From a medium distance, the Cabriolet presents a very appealing, charming overall appearance; the soft top, leather and engine bay are exceptionally well maintained. To be honest, it should be noted that the older paintwork shows signs of use and that age-related welding and repair work is pending in the bodywork area (including the sills/jacking points), which is why the car has been fairly rated as Condition 3.
