The
elegant 220SE was the first two-door example of the
W111 chassis model and was the last of the truly hand-crafted Mercedes
passenger cars. Unlike other automobiles, these cars were classics the day they
rolled off their special production line, and have remained so ever since.
The 220SE was introduced in February
1961 and was considered to be an immediate success. Road & Track magazine called this model one of the
best-looking body designs to come from any German concern. The exquisitely
proportioned and elegant coachwork was created by Mercedes Head of Design Friedrich
Geiger, who was also personally responsible for designing the famous pre-war 500/540K
sports-cars and the immortal 300SL “Gullwing”; the car was meticulously hand-built
on its own separate production line at the leisurely rate of only 13 examples per
week.
