This would make it an awesome car for smoking around the capital Fitted with the most powerful engine in the range, this left-hand drive Mercedes-Benz 220 SEb is finished in White (colour code 50 G) with a very good black leather plete with a wealth of documentation, it was built in 1961 before being delivered to its first owner in Kansas in 1962. Still very original, we've rarely seen a better history file - and that paperwork also suggests it may well be showing the correct mileage.It starts and runs so well that the owner, who is still the car's first UK keeper, drove it the 160 miles from the port of Southampton to his home. He then drove it more than 100 miles to us in one hit, which shows the appropriate faith in a car he's clearly adored. "It drove flawlessly", he said when he arrived. "There were no issues. No fuss. No drama. I'm gutted I've got to sell it."White might not be the most adventurous colour but its clean simplicity allows the underlying shape to shine, and there's no denying the W111 two-door coup is a helluva good-looking car.As is common, the 220 SEb has been the subject of ongoing refurbishment and curation over the years with the paintwork having been refreshed in places. Take a look at the bills though. They're tiny, which suggests that whatever work was done wasn't widespread or serious.As you can see, it sports very good shutlines, ripple-free flanks, and a decent gloss to the finish; in other words, it presents very well and could be left as it is or further improved depending on the new owner's proclivities.The chrome trim is, as you can see excellent. Straight and free of rust, which is how we like it. There is no serious rust or corrosion on the underside.The black White, 1 owner, £36,000
