Model history

The Mercedes-Benz 220 SE of the W128 series was produced from 1958 to 1960 as a sedan, coupe, and convertible and was the top model of the "Ponton" series. Equipped with a 2.2-litre inline six-cylinder engine with mechanical fuel injection, it offered noticeably more power than the 220 S. The luxuriously appointed convertibles and coupés were aimed particularly at an exclusive clientele. The 220 SE was replaced in 1959 by the more modern models of the W111 series.

        Technik: Mit der einfacher aufgebauten, bereits ab Anfang 1956 im Spitzenmodell Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc verwendeten mechanischen Saugrohreinspritzung kam im September 1958 der 220 SE auf den Markt. Im Motor M 127 spritzt die von einem kopiergefrästen Raumnocken (spöttisch „Kartoffel“) gesteuerte Zweistempel-Einspritzpumpe von Bosch über zwei Dreifach-Verteiler den Kraftstoff intermittierend in die Ansaugrohre vor die Einlassventile. Limousine, Coupé und Cabriolet vom Typ 220 SE entsprechen bis auf den Motor den vergaserbestückten Schwestermodellen vom Typ 220 S. Der Einspritzmotor M 127 hatte eine auf 85 kW (115 PS) bei 4800/min gesteigerte Nennleistung. Die verbesserten Fahrleistungen und der etwas günstigere Kraftstoffverbrauch des Einspritzers mussten allerdings mit einem Mehrpreis von 1900 D-Mark erkauft werden. Für weitere 450 D-Mark war auch der Kupplungsautomat „Hydrak“ lieferbar. LG Tom
