220SE Coupe - 1961

[Styria]

This may hold some interest for Helmet - after all, he DOES have a 220SE Coupe that I look forward to seeing at the concours this year. Regards Styria

Just going through some old threads. Unfortunately, Helmet could not make the day, but I have since seen his absolutely splendid and immaculate Signal Red (?) Coupe - almost like new, with an excellent service and owner history. I am sure I have a photo somewhere, and I will need to dig it up. However, the car can also be viewed on Helmet's excellent "Autohaus One" website. Regards Styria

Thanks for the kind words Styria, here is a pic.

Hi Helmet, would I be correct in assuming that the steel sliding roof on your car is quite a rare option ? Seeing that I got you out of bed to reply D), what are the chances of you digging up some photos of the interior in due course ? Maybe this time next Sunday ? Well, one can only ask ! Regards Styria

That is a very beautiful coupé.

Peter nice coupe.

You did sell your silver 280SE 3.5 Coupe didn't you?

I remember meeting you at the 2011 MBCNSW Concours and I saw the silver 3.5 fine looking car.

I have a photo of the 3.5 would you mind if I post the photo on the Forum?

Cheers.

Yes, sold the 3.5 last year

I do not have a photo of the 3.5 unfornately.

I do remember the 3.5 had personalised plates silver exterior and blue MB-TEX interior sure that is correct Peter?

All the best with the sale of the 230E W123 and the S500 W140 both fine looking cars.

A pic of the 3.5 for you Tim, the interior is leather

What a stunning 3.5 and I stand corrected the interior was leather.

Out of two Coupe's I like the silver one!

All the best Peter.

You missed a bargain Tim

Very funny Peter!

Sad to say Peter the silver 3.5 my budget for a Mercedes when I was looking to buy was well and truly not enough unfornately.

As you know very content with my 300SE just had a brake fluid and coolant change carried out on the car this week and the car is going brilliantly!

Cheers.

Great to hear you are enjoying it Tim

 

[260ebenz]

That is for sure.

If you are at the Hawks Nest Motorfest in March how does a drive in the 300SE sound Peter?

You have seen photos of the 300SE but I would appreciate your opinion of the car once you have seen and driven the car yourself.

Cheers.
