The W111/112 SE/b was part of the flagship series making up the 250 and 300 series coupes and cabriolets during 1965-1967. These luxurious cars rolled off the production lines to the count of 10-13 units per week. The SE/b?s combination of refinements, styling, spaciousness, performance and handling made it the ultimate touring car, not to mention there were many that were converted to racing rally cars with many top three finishes. In the early 60?s Road & Track magazine wrote: ?One of the best-looking body designs to come from any German Automobile concern.?
This virtually showroom stock Cabriolet was first purchased by a Ford dealer who appreciated fine European cars. He kept the car for about 35 years driving it on special occasions. The next owner cherished the car equally as much and only drove the car a mere 1000 miles during his tenure as custodian. He also repainted the car to its original color. The odometer statement verifies the 57,533 miles showing on the speedometer are in fact real. The original, books, service records and tools accompany this light blue Mercedes Benz. All the original rich-looking wood trim and bright work is well preserved and the parchment interior panels with leather seats have a certain natural patina to them. A new blue canvas top was recently installed. The motor runs smooth and quiet like a Kienzel watch, and the original Becker radio sounds clear and plays great tunes. These glamourous hand built ?SE? Cabriolets have always been a popular. They have been cherished by enthusiasts since the day they were introduced, and no important collection should be without one.
