A sparkling example of Mercedes' futuristic Fintail ...
Introduced in 1961, the Heckflosse (Fintail) offered 4-cylinder economy with bold styling and luxurious comfort
Second generation (1965 - 1968) featured twin carbs, reclining front seats and revised exterior details
This left-hand drive 200 appears to have been first registered on 04/01/1966
Supplied with an allocation of registration number (24/09/2019)
Presented in brilliant white with fresh chrome. Appears to have been recently restored
Very smart interior in Tobacco M-B Tex with a period Becker Monte Carlo TR radio
