1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet Ponton for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet Ponton is a used car showing 75,129 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Dark grey-green with a Red interior.

Among the two-door Ponton cars, the injected 220 SE Cabriolet stood at the top, with a shorter wheelbase than the saloon and a far richer finish. This one was built in 1960, the model's last year, and is one of only 1,112 cabriolets, each assembled largely by hand at Sindelfingen.

It has since been fully dismantled, stripped to bare metal and rebuilt, and photographs and invoices from well-known Dutch specialists record the work. Official Mercedes-Benz information confirms matching numbers and the original colour scheme. One detail has changed: the hood, dark blue fabric when new, is now black mohair, and it folds away behind a rear bench that seats more than two.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet uses the 2,195 cc M127 straight-six with Bosch mechanical manifold injection, rated at 120 PS (88 kW) at 4,800 rpm and 189 Nm from August 1959, for 165 km/h, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels, the Hydrak automatic clutch at extra cost.
