Exterior
Color and Paint: Originally optioned in a two-tone colorway, the
car features a bright red body and a black roof. The car has been
repainted in its original red, with the roof now sporting a
professionally installed black vinyl covering.
Condition: The body is straight with minimal blemishes. There are
some minor chips and scuffs, and a crease in the front body panel
where the bumper appears to have dented it. The front bumper has a
few scuffs, but overall, the paint shows beautifully.
Trim and Glass: The glass, chrome, trim, hardware, and emblems are
all in excellent condition. The panel fitment is consistent, and
all doors, hood, and trunk close nicely. The factory 13-inch wheels
have newer tires, and the trim rings and center caps are in great
shape.
Lights: The headlights and bezels show nicely and function
properly.
Interior
Seats and Upholstery: The front and rear seats have been restuffed
and recovered, presenting in top condition. The seat frame chrome
is excellent, and the seats move freely. The car is equipped with
seatbelts.
Dashboard and Controls: The dash and gauges show nicely and
function properly. All switches are functional. The upper trim on
the driver's side dash is peeled, and the headliner has some stains
but is taught and complete. A brand new headliner is included for
installation if desired.
Carpets and Panels: The new carpets and plush Mercedes floor mats
complement the interior. The door panels are in excellent
condition, and the windows roll smoothly. The interior is clean and
dry, with door jambs in excellent condition.
Trunk: The trunk is dry and complete with the full spare and all
trim pieces. The floor pans in both the car and trunk are
solid.
Underhood
Engine and Transmission: The engine bay is largely original,
housing the factory-correct M127 2.2L Inline 6 with Bosch
Mechanical Fuel Injection. This appears to be the original engine
and transmission. The engine runs smoothly, fires easily on cold
starts, holds a smooth idle, and revs nicely. The car is
mechanically sound and well cared for.
Condition: The underhood area presents well, with no significant
issues noted.
Underbody
Condition: The underside is in good shape for its age, with solid
floor pans and rockers. The suspension is complete and in good
condition, though some rubber bushings show mild cracking. There
has been a prior repair in the front wheel well on the front bumper
panel, which is common for the W111. The rear section of the
exhaust has been replaced with stainless steel.
Leaks: There is some oil residue around the transmission pan gasket
and oil drain plug, but no active leaks.
Driving Experience
Performance: The car drives exceptionally well, with smooth gear
shifts and responsive acceleration. The suspension is tight, free
from road noises, and the car tracks straight. The brake pedal is
firm, offering confident stopping power.
Functionality: The horn, signals, lights, and wipers all function
properly. The radio is currently non-functional. The gauges work
nicely, and both the odometer and trip meter operate as they
should.
Overall Experience: This 220SEb is a fantastic cruiser, offering a
comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
