This 1963 Mercedes-Benz 220SE began life as a European-market coupe and was converted to an open-roof configuration during previous ownership. Power is supplied by a 2.8-liter M130 inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission, and equipment includes a removable black soft top, a glovebox-mounted Bluetooth stereo, and a woodgrain steering wheel.
Originally produced as a coupe, the car was converted to a convertible in the 1980s and a lift-off black soft top was fabricated during current ownership. Rust repair was also performed since the seller’s acquisition, and the exterior was repainted apart from the hood and trunklid. Features include European-market headlights, a removable black top boot, a 280SE badge on the decklid, and a single license plate light.
Steel 14″ wheels wear covers with body-color centers and are wrapped in 195/75 Cocker Classic whitewall tires.
The front seating surfaces were recently reupholstered in black vinyl, and wood trim accents the dashboard. Amenities include a heater, a center-mounted basket, and a Bluetooth stereo housed in the glovebox. A Becker Mexico cassette radio is retained in the dashboard, and a 280SE badge has been added to the right.
A woodgrain steering wheel frames a tachometer and a 210-km/h speedometer. The five-digit mechanical odometer indicates 22k kilometers (~14k miles).
The factory 2.2L engine was replaced with a 2.8-liter M130 inline-six equipped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and a Pertronix electronic ignition system. The coolant system was flushed, a tune-up was performed, and the water pump, hoses, thermostat, and fuel sending unit have been replaced during the current ownership per the seller.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.
