Vehicle Description
Beautiful 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220SE 'Ponton' CabrioletThis gorgeous
1960 Mercedes Benz 220SE is a California car wearing a quality
older restoration. Red with tan leather interior and black
soft-top. Shift on the column manual transmission. This 'Ponton'
runs and drives superb and is ready to be enjoyed by its next
loving owner. A very clean, straight, and solid example with no
rust. An attractive and strong driver with lots of charm. It was
originally born as a highly sought after black car. It currently
wears nice red paint, chromework, and interior. The wood has been
redone in more of a matte / non-gloss finish. In 1958 the 220 range
was updated with a fuel-injected version of the 2.2-litre
overhead-camshaft six, becoming the 220SE. Maximum power increased
to 115bhp, and there was a useful improvement in acceleration, the
0-60mph time reducing by two seconds. By the time production ceased
in November 1960, fewer than 2,000 220SE Coup and Cabriolet models
had been manufactured, and today these stylish and luxuriously
equipped Grand Tourers are highly prized. One of the companys most
elegant creations, the 220 SE Cabriolet is a fantastic display of
refinement, build quality, and effortless performance. Even today,
the 220 SE remains a joy to drive, making this timeless and
well-maintained example a must have. California Car Wonderfully
