Model history

It really doesn't happen that often. Fully-fledged four-seaters in coupé or convertible design. One representative of this rare species is the W111 coupé or convertible. This is due to the fact that the coupé and convertible bodies were simply placed on the unabridged saloon chassis. And yet, at the end of the day, not a single body part of the saloon could be used. So these two body versions were created by hand. Which also explains the exorbitant new price. Despite this, the coupés and convertibles of the W111, with the 220SE, 250SE, 280SE and 280SE 3.5 models, found 32,804 happy customers. The 220 SEb coupé alone accounted for 14,173 buyers.
