Equipment

4-speed, Blaupunkt multiband radio, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, Hella foglights, service records.

Condition

Bought new by Theodore Roosevelt III. Quickly repainted over old paint and badly repaired dings in both doors. Sill molding doesn't match the rear fender contour. Original upholstery is surface creased and sound. Good newer top. Cracked fog light lens. Tired interior wood with scrapes, cracks and varnish loss. Decent chrome. Original, dirty, undercoat in the wheel wells. Poor hood fit with a vast rear gap. Said to be recently mechanically serviced with a rebuilt FI pump

Market commentary

Famous family history notwithstanding, this is a tired 220SE with many needs and only limited credit for preservation. Its high bid here is modest, but has room for unexpected issues. The bidders were conservative, and it could have brought a price into six-figures without being expensive.
