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

Summary

The 1963 Mercedes-Benz 220 b (W111) is credited with pioneering modern automotive safety, being the first vehicle to be produced in series with crumple zones designed by Béla Barényi. Although it was the simplest version of the 6-cylinder series, this model offered exceptional mechanical durability and a high driving comfort thanks to the refined chassis. The most distinctive visual features are the rear lights "Fintails," which at that time were not only a design trend, but also served as orientation points during parking. The dual carburetor system requires a periodic tuning to maintain optimum performance, but in general the M180 engine is known as "immortal" if maintained regularly. This tool remains a fairly popular choice for collectors looking for a classic German sedan that can still be used with full reliability.
