Mercedes-Benz W110 First Series 190c/190Dc ( 1961-1965)

Mercedes-Benz W110
Manufacturer : Mercedes-Benz
Production : 1961–1968
 628,282 built 
Assembly :  Sindelfingen, Germany
Barcelona, Venezuela
Port Melbourne, Australia 

Predecessor : Mercedes-Benz W120
Successor : Mercedes-Benz W115
Class : Executive car
Vehicles:
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
1961–1968
Mercedes-Benz W110
First Series 190c/190Dc  ( 1961-1965)

The W110 "Fintail" (German: Heckflosse) was Mercedes-Benz's line of midsize four-cylinder automobiles in the mid-1960s. The line was introduced with the 190c and 190Dc sedan in April, 1961,[2] replacing the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db. The W110 line was refreshed in July, 1965 to become the 200 and Diesel 200D (model year 1966 for North America); at the same time, a six-cylinder 230 (successor to the Mercedes 220) became part of the W110 line. Production lasted just three more years, with the W115 220 and 220D introduced in 1968. This was the first series of Mercedes cars to be extensively crash tested for occupant safety.



First Series: 190c/190D
Production: 1961–1965
       Engine       :  1.9 L M121 I4
                                           1.9 L OM621 Diesel I4
1961-1965
First Series 190c/190Dc

The 190c and 190Dc replaced the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db as Mercedes-Benz's line of less-expensive four-cylinder sedans. The "D" denoted a Diesel engine, a technology pioneered by Mercedes-Benz and championed despite widespread derision in the motoring press. The body was derived from the W111 series but with a 145mm shorter nose and rounded headlights (which gave a similar front-end appearance to the W120/121 pontol models). The rear end was identical to the W111 220b (the 220b was the base model of the W111 series). The interior layout and dimensions were also identical to the W111 220b, but with fewer options such as fixed-back seats and bakelite trim on the dashboard (as opposed to timber in the W111 models). Because the 190c and 190Dc models were basically a W111 220b with a shorter front, they offered the same interior and luggage space as the W111 series but with smaller and more fuel efficient engines. This made them extremely popular with taxi drivers.[3] Production of the 190Dc exceeded that of the petrol engined 190c by nearly 100,000 units.

Mercedes-Benz W110 Second Series 200/200D/230

Production  : 1965—1968
    Engine         :  2.0 L M121 I4
                             2.3 L M180 I6
                             2.0 L OM621 
(1965-1968)
Mercedes-Benz W110
Second Series 200/200D/230

The second series of 4-cylinder cars lasted just a few years. Production of the new 200, 200D and 230 models commenced in July, 1965,[5] at the Sindelfingen plant. The 200 and 200D replaced the 190c and 190Dc models respectively. The engine in the 200 had the bore increased from 85 to 87mm giving a 1988 cc displacement and was fitted with twin carburetors (the 190c had a single carburetor). The OM621 diesel engine in the 200D was essentially identical to that of the 190Dc (which was actually a 1988 c.c. unit despite the car being labelled as a '190') but was improved by using a five main bearing crankshaft instead of the original three. Visually, the second series models had the front indicators relocated from the top of the front fenders to below the headlights. At the rear, the tail lights were enlarged and squared off and the chrome trim was revised (including the removal of the chrome trim from the trailing edge of the tailfins). All models now featured air outlets with chrome trim on the C-pillars (identical to the W111 models). Inside, there were very few changes except all models now featured reclining front seats (previously an option on the 190c and 190Dc) and the 230 had a central armrest in the back seat as standard. In the later half of 1967 the interior door handles and dashboard switchgear were upgraded to match that of the W108/114/115 series cars. All three of the W110 second series cars ended production in January 1968 with the introduction of the W115 220 and 220D.

Mercedes-Benz

1959
Mercedes-Benz 220SE Ponton Cabriolet
Frame Off Restored 220SE Ponton Cabriolet 2.2 4 Speed






Description:
Engine : 2.2 Liter I6
Body Style: Convertible
Miles : 23209
Stock #131160
Interior Color: Navy
Exterior Color : Light Metallic Blue
Certified Price:  $109,900

Today’s collector car market is truly international. Buyers from every area of the globe have entered the hobby in a big way over the past decade, and this trend accelerates daily. Over the past year, we’ve sold more than 100 desirable classic cars to the international market and now we’re going to turn the tables and offer something that originated as an international car. Specifically, an impeccably restored, award winning 1959 Mercedes Benz 220SE Ponton Cabriolet. As the Mercedes Benz experts out there will testify, this is a rare, low production number M-B, with only 1,942 fuel injected cars built in 1959. Moreover, this car’s provenance, and accomplishments, make it highly desirable, and is the perfect choice for any collector seeking an investment grade 1959 220SE Ponton Cabriolet.

Let’s start with the documentation. Present are copies of the German titles to this M-B through 2000, where this car lived its entire life before being shipped to the West Coast of the United States. At a cost of more than $120,000.00, this 220SE received an every nut & bolt restoration by Kuehnel & Janiszewski of Berlin, Germany. Copies of all restoration receipts, invoices and details are present and come with the car. Also present is an original 1959 Mercedes Benz factory sales brochure for this 220SE. Beautifully restored in the correct Light Metallic Blue (DB 906) with a Navy Leather interior and a Dark Blue canvas top with a light grey headliner, this 220SE is a indeed a world class car.

After being shipped to the United States, it earned a First Place at the Concours D’Elegance in Santa Barbara, followed up with a showing at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Island Exhibition in Newport Beach, CA. Present is the correct, restored Zebrano Wood interior, with a fold down back seat. Also present is the original “Becker Mexico” (tube) Radio with automatic station seeker and 2 extra speakers hidden under the rear seats.

The original 2.2 liter 6 cylinder fuel injected engine, rated at 120 HP at 5,200 RPM is present, expertly rebuilt, as is the DB 4-speed manual transmission. Maximum speed on this 220SE is 100 MPH at 6000 RPM. The starter motor, distributor, generator and ignition coil are all correct Bosch equipment. Optically, this is a stunning car. The paint and bodywork are excellent, with show quality chrome and trim abound.

The Navy Leather interior is astounding with the restored Zebrano Wood trim gleaming in perfection. All instruments and controls have been expertly restored and one could easily think they were sitting in a brand new 1959 Mercedes Benz.

Mechanically, this 220SE has been fastidiously maintained and everything operates as new. The canvas top operates perfectly, and the 220SE looks impressive with the top up or down.
In summary, as we’ve stated over & over, this is a WORLD CLASS car, for a truly international hobby. Whether as an investment, or as an attractive piece in any significant Mercedes-Benz collection, this is a true investment grade piece.
