Description:
1961 the “prototype” of the model series W 111 was presented and was built until 1967 in this form. Back then the 300 SE was the most exclusive and expensive model of the 111 series. Only 708 examples of the convertible were produced in total.
A few years ago this car came – with 94.000 mls – back from USA to Germany. Here it was – based on the original 300 SE Convertible – extensively restored by the brand-specialist Fa. Lehnhardt in Uhlingen. The car was retrofitted to 6.3-liter technique using an original Mercedes-Benz substitution unit optimized with a long rear axle ratio of 2.82 completed a self-locking differential. Original colour was 040 Black.
This car is a beautiful everyday classic with excellent driving characteristics. The asking price is far below the investment made for the vehicle.
