1964 Mercedes-Benz 220S W111 Sedan - Blue - 19,864km - Inline 6-Cylinder, Automatic
Overview
This 1964 Mercedes-Benz 220S represents a significant moment in post-war German automotive engineering. The W111 chassis was Mercedes' answer to the modern saloon market of the 1960s, combining the marque's engineering precision with understated elegance. The 220S variant, with its 2.2-litre naturally aspirated inline six-cylinder engine and automatic transmission, embodies the mechanical simplicity and durability that defined Mercedes-Benz's reputation during this era. At just 19,864 kilometres on the odometer, this example presents as a remarkably low-mileage survivor, suggesting careful stewardship and limited use over its 56-year lifespan.
The exterior presents in blue metallic, with paint that holds good gloss across visible panels. Panel alignment is straight with no obvious dents or creases. Chrome trim and bumpers show patina consistent with age, with minor surface oxidation visible on the front and rear bumper bars. The windscreen and side windows are intact, and the body lines remain crisp and well-defined. Wheels are period-appropriate steel with hub caps, presenting well. The overall exterior condition reflects honest age rather than neglect, with the vehicle maintaining its original proportions and stance.
The interior reveals red leather upholstery with vertical pleating characteristic of the period. Seats show wear consistent with the vehicle's age and kilometres, with some creasing and patina to the leather. The dashboard is finished in dark material with a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and the instrument cluster features analog needle gauges displaying fuel, temperature, and speed. Carpeting is original-pattern black with some wear visible. The overall cabin presents authentically, with no modern modifications visible.
The engine bay reveals a well-presented inline six-cylinder engine with dual carburettors mounted on the intake manifold. The engine is naturally aspirated with no turbocharger or supercharger components visible. Fluid levels appear reasonable, and the engine bay shows honest patina without excessive corrosion. The battery is present and appears serviceable. This is a straightforward, mechanical engine bay typical of 1960s Mercedes engineering, with no forced induction or modern modifications evident.
The combination of low kilometres and original specification makes it an increasingly desirable variant. The W111 platform has proven reliable and parts availability remains reasonable through specialist suppliers. This is a genuine classic that rewards careful ownership and regular use.
