1963 Mercedes-Benz 220 b W111 (Automatic / 4 Gears) RWD [1959-1968]

Summary

The Mercedes-Benz 220 b (W111) with automatic transmission is a vehicle that prioritizes maximum comfort over dynamic performance. The 4-speed automatic transmission of this era is known for its durability, but due to the hydraulic technology of the time, it significantly increases fuel consumption and penalizes acceleration compared to the manual variant. As part of the Heckflosse family, the car enjoys the famous safety zones and spacious interior space that made Mercedes-Benz the leader in the luxury segment. The 6-cylinder engine is quiet, but the carburetor system requires specialists who know how to synchronize correctly to avoid vibrations. For collectors, this variant is quite special because it offers a genuine "S-Class" feel, where the car does everything on its own, leaving the driver to enjoy the ride in a well-insulated cabin.
