The Mercedes-Benz 220SEb first showed up in the late 1959, as the third of the models to share the identical body style with the others, ut was more luxuriously outfitted on the inside.
The fuel injected engine was essentially the same as that of the previous 220SE model, ut developed 120 horsepower instead of 115. As in the carbureted engine model, his one had disc brakes on the front fitted from April 1962 and the hydraulic dual braking system available from 1963 on. Production of the sedans got underway in August 1959, nd in September 1960 a newly styled coupe became available, ut it was not produced until February 1961. The convertible appeared in September 1961. Disc brakes were fitted for the latter ones from the beginning and the same time the dual braking system was available in all three. The body styles of the convertible and coupe were more modern, ear fins were eliminated and the edge slightly rounded and the cars were much more luxuriously equipped. Real leather upholstery was standard as well as a tachometer, ere standard equipment of these truly elegant automobiles.
Re-finished in a beautiful Alpine white, he newer professional quality paint job still shows extremely well with only minor imperfections visible upon close inspection. The restored (in 2002) front and rear bumpers have an excellent fit and finish that show well with only minor imperfections on the right side of the front bumper. All trim pieces are present and have a brilliant finish with no dents. The weather stripping is still very pliable with little or no drying, earing or shrinkage. The highly desirable European spec headlights and taillights are in very good condition with no hazing or cracks. Paint and body are exceptional with no visible evidence of repair or damage that we could find.
Inside, he gorgeous rich red leather seats all look great with no major signs of wear visible. Carpet also shows well and is in good condition throughout. Overall the genuine wood trim looks great and compliments the crack-free red leather dash. The headliner mirrors the rest of the cabin and completes the theme as do the door panels which show well. The original steering wheel is in very good condition and leather wrapped, ower locks, uel gauge and Pioneer AM/FM radio are inoperable.
