1960 W111 Mercedes Benz 220S

Hey guys have my 1960 W111 Mercedes 220s up for sale.

I purchased this not too long ago and had planned to fix it mechanically and use it as a weekend car while I completed a restoration on my other W111 Mercedes. However due to owning my own house I really can’t afford to have excess cars around.

1960 W111 220S

4 Speed column manual

2.2L Straight six with Twin carbs

Couches for seats (very comfortable)

New vinyl roof

New food lining

New tail shaft centre bearing

New 13” whitewalls

New shift linkage

New exhaust

Exterior:

Outside is fairly tidy, it was painted quite some time ago and is starting to show some age, there are areas of bog that are a little rough, doesn’t appear to be much rust in any horrible areas, none around windows. Bumpers are average. It has a brand new black vinyl roof. Body sure isn’t perfect but it looks great driving around and wouldn’t be a bad example to paint if that’s what you wanted to do.

Interior:

Interior has had a re-trim at some stage with red velour seats; they were re-padded and are very comfortable, much softer than original. Dash had been trimmed a while back and has aged a little. Overall the interior is very tidy and requires very little if any work.

Mechanical:

I’ve done a bit of mechanical work to her in an attempt to get her driving nice. I’ve changed the carbies as the originals have some accelerator pump issues. The new ones are in excellent shape but do require a tune to get it running a little smoother. Blows smoke on start up as most of these do. Engine itself is very strong and has almost no oil leaks and doesn’t burn almost any oil at all. I have also changed the clutch as the original as no good. The driveshaft has a new centre bearing but still required a balance as there is a slight vibration over approx 80km/h. Overall it really just need a tune and a balance and it would drive very well. These cars were light years ahead of other manufactures of the same year.

Overall a great car to jump in and drive around on weekends.

Asking $4000 ono
