An exceptionally rare 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Ponton Coupe, exquisitely restored in stunning Bahama Blue.

For collectors of mid-century Mercedes-Benz elegance, this 1960 220 SE W128 Ponton Coupe represents an extraordinarily rare opportunity. Believed to be one of just 830 examples ever manufactured, this magnificent coupe has been the subject of an extensive, ground-up restoration, leaving it meticulously refurbished inside and out. Showing just 58,000 kilometres on the odometer, it is a flagship piece of 1960s Stuttgart craftsmanship that seamlessly blends opulent coachbuilt design with undeniable exclusivity.

A car of this historical significance deserves uncompromising dedication, and this 220 SE has been treated to an exhaustive, ground up restoration addressing every aspect of the exterior, interior, and mechanical running gear. Previously handled and prepared in Germany by internationally renowned classic Mercedes-Benz specialists Mechatronik in Baden-Württemberg, the standard of craftsmanship throughout is second to none. Every component has been meticulously refurbished, ensuring that while the car presents with show quality elegance, it remains an honest, properly sorted motor car ready to be used and driven rather than hidden away.

Out on the road, the Ponton delivers the delightfully serene, mechanical charm that made these hand finished coupes legendary long distance tourers. Power comes from the silky smooth 2.2 litre 105 bhp inline six engine, paired with a tactile four speed manual gearbox that makes flowing cross country drives an absolute joy. It cruises with calm composure right up towards its period 99 mph capability, offering that reassuring, vault-like feel through the steering and chassis that modern cars simply cannot replicate. Offering immense rarity, a fabulous colour combination, and an impeccable restoration pedigree, this 220 SE Coupe is a turn key classic ready for classic rallies and sunny weekend runs.
