AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A unique, ungalvanized and completely rust-free W111 sedan. We bought this car in Montana from an elderly collector.
Body/Finish: Super original with a very unusual original color scheme (blue on the outside, red inside). The car was repainted at some point in the past. The underbody is uncoated and very clean. The chrome work is still neat for its age.
Technical: Mercedes 220 SE 1961 2.2 liter, 6 cylinders, injection, 4-speed manual (1) 21,000 miles. Runs, shifts, and drives well.
Interior: The interior still looks fully original, and the seats appear to be real leather. The dashboard is in very nice, authentic condition with its original ivory steering wheel and radio. Everything in the trunk area and under the hood is also well-kept.
Documentation: Original booklets and the onboard tools are present.
Other information: Of course this car is 65 years old and there will likely still be things to improve. It is equipped with a new Dutch registration plate.
We strive to describe the cars as fairly and accurately as possible, but they remain used vehicles, so there may always be something that needs attention or shows signs of use. If in doubt, please come view the car.
INTERIOR:
The interior is fully original and in particularly nice condition. The iconic ivory steering wheel and the original Becker radio give the car an authentic atmosphere that perfectly matches the period in which it was built.
DOCUMENTATION:
Original booklet and a new Dutch registration
OTHER INFORMATION:
This is a classic vehicle from before 1996, which means a COC document is not required for registration within Europe. As with any classic, there can always be minor points for improvement. We strive to describe our vehicles as honestly as possible and advise a viewing if there is serious interest.
PICK-UP:
The car can be viewed and possibly picked up in Damwoude, Netherlands. Transport throughout Europe can be arranged in consultation.
A rare, original and fully documented W111 “time capsule” – a tangible piece of Mercedes history for the true enthusiast or collector.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
