I have known this Mercedes W111 220 SE Cabriolet and its owner for 10+ years. It has been driven from the owner’s home near Indianapolis, IN to Los Angeles, CA. He has driven it from his home near Indianapolis to Charlotte, NC and back multiple times. It is impeccably maintained and is in exceedingly nice cosmetic condition. With its known history, regular use and maintenance and excellent condition, it is the W111 against which I measure all others. It is THE BEST driving example I’ve ever experienced.
Present with the car is a huge amount of documentation, service and restoration receipts which tell the story of this car from its time in Switzerland with its original owner, to its import to the U.S. by the original owner’s son to the purchase and care of the current owner who acquired the car in the early 2000s.
This car is the smoothest running, driving W111 cabriolet I’ve ever experienced. It is world’s better than the 1963 220 SE Cabriolet we sold back in 2021 (click to see that car on our website). This car is LIGHT YEARS better than the black 1963 220 SE Cabriolet we sold on Bringatrailer.com earlier this year (click to see that car on our website) – you couldn’t have turned the black car into something as nice as this white car for $150k+. This car is that nice…. it is that ready to hop in and drive wherever you want to go.
And if you think a 220 SE is ‘underpowered’ or not worth owning because a ‘280 SE is better’ please have a look at this car in action in our driving video. This car is easy to drive and a complete joy and pleasure. It has limited ownership history, it’s well documented and is ready to drive today. ZERO excuses. It has never had rust repair, its trunk is original, fenders are original. If you want a great W111 Cabriolet, look no further.
