Absolute stunning, one of only 1,112 produced, last production year Mercedes-Benz W128 220 SE “Ponton” Cabriolet in excellent unrestored original mechanical and cosmetic condition. The car retains its original 2.2-liter inline-six-cylinder engine with aluminum head, overhead camshaft, Bosch mechanical fuel injection making 115 hp, and a four-speed manual transmission.

History of the Mercedes-Benz 220 SE (W128):
The Mercedes-Benz W128 is a 6-cylinder luxury car produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1958 to 1960 and marketed as the Mercedes-Benz 220 SE. It was available in sedan, coupe, or cabriolet body styles, and it was the last new model of the "Ponton" range which had design and styling roots beginning in 1953 with the Mercedes-Benz 180 sedan (W120 chassis). It was identical to its 220 S predecessor, except for having petrol injection, 'Einspritzung' in German, reflected in the additional E in its 220 SE designation.

 

The 220 SE featured a unitized body/frame construction and fully independent suspension. All models were fitted with Mercedes' M127 2.2 L (2195 cc) straight-six gasoline engine with aluminum head, overhead camshaft, and Bosch mechanical fuel injection. This was done by intermittent inlet manifold injection (like the 300 d) and meant that the 2.2-liter engine now produced 115 horsepower. An automatic clutch was available with the column-mounted 4-speed manual transmission.

 

At the time, the cabriolet was priced similarly to Cadillac's top-end Eldorado Biarritz (DM 23,400/$8,091). Nearly every interior surface of the coupe and cabriolet was covered in wood or leather, and matching leather luggage was available. The W128 was succeeded by the "Fintail" series starting with the W111 line.
