Model history

It really doesn't happen that often. Fully-fledged four-seaters in coupé or convertible design. One representative of this rare species is the W111 coupé or convertible. This is due to the fact that the coupé and convertible bodies were simply placed on the unabridged saloon chassis. And yet, at the end of the day, not a single body part of the saloon could be used. So these two body versions were created by hand. Which also explains the exorbitant new price. Despite this, the coupés and convertibles of the W111, with the 220SE, 250SE, 280SE and 280SE 3.5 models, found 32,804 happy customers. The 220 SEb coupé alone accounted for 14,173 buyers.

  • Automatic gearbox

    Technik: Ich wäre froh wenn die Diskussion etwas sachlicher verliefe! Unsere technischen Daten basieren auf den Verkäufer Angaben die wir aber sorgfältig prüfen!! Gut hier ist es zu einer Fehlinfo gekommen was aber nichts mit der Lacktiefe bei diesem Objekt zu tun hat! Denn wenn bei einem Oldtimer eine Nachlackierung ein µmm mehr das gesamt Lackbild nicht verändert sollte das tolerierbar sein!! LG Dipl.-Ing. Tom

    • 29.10.2024 19:41

      Und das mit den 136 PS passt auch nicht!! Und dann noch 5 Prozent kassieren. Schon alles recht Amateurhaft. Hier werde ich wohl nie ein Auto kaufen.

      • 29.10.2024 19:32

        Generell wäre es auch schön, wenn Ihr schon die Fahrzeuge selbst vor Ort besichtigt, zumindest eine Lackschichtmessung und/oder qualifizierte Aussagen zum Zustand macht. Oder eine Möglichkeit bietet zur Vorabbesichtigung.

        • 29.10.2024 19:37

          Was willst da Lackschichten messen??!! Die Fahrzeuge waren von Hand gebaut und lackiert, deswegen haben alle verschiedene Lackdicken!!!

          • 29.10.2024 19:48

            Wenn es nachlackiert wurde, dann kann man das schon sehr gut messen!!!

      • 29.10.2024 19:27

        Beschreibung passt ja nicht wirklich zum Fahrzeug!!! elktr. Fenster? Klima?? Schiebedach????

        • 29.10.2024 19:33

          Guten Tag, hier ist wohl etwas in die Beschreibung gerutscht, was wir sofort anpassen werden. Danke für Ihre Aufmerksamen Augen.

        • 28.10.2024 12:17

          Hallo, Ein wirklich tolles Auto. Kann ich es vor einer Gebotsabgabe auch mal besichtigen? Schöne Grüße
