A 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet, representing the convergence of the company's mid-1950s engineering advances: unibody construction, ponton styling, and Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The car was comprehensively restored by the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center approximately a decade before the 2019 sale period, and subsequently acquired directly from them in 2009. Finished in Medium Red over beige with dark red piping, it had accumulated fewer than 900 miles since restoration at the time of cataloguing.
