*Exterior*
Color and Paint: Originally optioned in a two-tone colorway, the car features a bright red body and a black roof. The car has been repainted in its original red, with the roof now sporting a professionally installed black vinyl covering.
Condition: The body is straight with minimal blemishes. There are some minor chips and scuffs, and a crease in the front body panel where the bumper appears to have dented it. The front bumper has a few scuffs, but overall, the paint shows beautifully.
Trim and Glass: The glass, chrome, trim, hardware, and emblems are all in excellent condition. The panel fitment is consistent, and all doors, hood, and trunk close nicely. The factory 13-inch wheels have newer tires, and the trim rings and center caps are in great shape.
Lights: The headlights and bezels show nicely and function properly.
*Interior*
Seats and Upholstery: The front and rear seats have been restuffed and recovered, presenting in top condition. The seat frame chrome is excellent, and the seats move freely. The car is equipped with seatbelts.
Dashboard and Controls: The dash and gauges show nicely and function properly. All switches are functional. The upper trim on the driver's side dash is peeled, and the headliner has some stains but is taught and complete. A brand new headliner is included for installation if desired.
Carpets and Panels: The new carpets and plush Mercedes floor mats complement the interior. The door panels are in excellent condition, and the windows roll smoothly. The interior is clean and dry, with door jambs in excellent condition.
Trunk: The trunk is dry and complete with the full spare and all trim pieces. The floor pans in both the car and trunk are solid.
*Underhood*
Engine and Transmission: The engine bay is largely original, housing the factory-correct M127 2.2L Inline 6 with Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection. This appears to be the original engine and transmission. The engine runs smoothly, fires easily on cold starts, holds a smooth idle, and revs nicely. The car is mechanically sound and well cared for.
Condition: The underhood area presents well, with no significant issues noted.
*Underbody*
Condition: The underside is in good shape for its age, with solid floor pans and rockers. The suspension is complete and in good condition, though some rubber bushings show mild cracking. There has been a prior repair in the front wheel well on the front bumper panel, which is common for the W111. The rear section of the exhaust has been replaced with stainless steel.
Leaks: There is some oil residue around the transmission pan gasket and oil drain plug, but no active leaks.
*Driving Experience*
Performance: The car drives exceptionally well, with smooth gear shifts and responsive acceleration. The suspension is tight, free from road noises, and the car tracks straight. The brake pedal is firm, offering confident stopping power.
Functionality: The horn, signals, lights, and wipers all function properly. The radio is currently non-functional. The gauges work nicely, and both the odometer and trip meter operate as they should.
Overall Experience: This 220SEb is a fantastic cruiser, offering a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
