‘NWT670A’ is a striking example of a 1966 Mercedes-Benz W111, two door coupe with the distinctive Paul Bracq, “Heckflosse,” or “fin tail” design. ‘NWT670A’ was imported to the UK in 2021 and has been part of a private collection ever since. Seemingly coming from a benign climate, ‘NWT670A’ is reported to be corrosion free throughout. Much has been spent on this elegant Mercedes coupe in the current ownership including an impressive interior retrim as well as mechanical maintenance. ‘NWT670A’ is an Historic Vehicle based on its age and so MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax. Despite its exemption it was MOT’d in April 2024, passing with just two basic advisories. As such ‘NWT670A’ represents a very rare example of this exclusive model.

The coupe version of the W111 appeared in 1960 and was marked out from the saloons of the W111 range by having a more luxurious and lavishly equipped interior, and exterior styling which was a squarer, more modern looking version of the saloon. Even the signature fins were reduced in prominence. ‘NWT670A’ exhibits these traits and more, presenting in a crisp white livery. The instantly recognisable Mercedes-Benz grill is present in large and dominant form nestling between double chrome bumpers and the equally familiar, vertically stacked quad headlamps. The subtle, Paul Bracq rear window treatment is especially distinctive, and the coupe sits on a set of “Mexican Hat” alloy wheels. The luxurious and surprisingly spacious interior was retrimmed two years ago helping to set ‘NWT670A’ still further apart from other examples. The bodywork, paintwork and interior are all rated as “good.”

The W111’s refined persona was further enhanced by the fitting of a range of smooth and powerful straight six engines. ‘NWT670A’ features the 2.2-litre M127 engine which provides a nice blend of refinement, performance and relative economy. In this application the engine features Bosch multipoint fuel injection and the power output was originally rated at approximately 120bhp. In ‘NWT670A’ this is mated to a four speed manual gearbox. Much has been spent on maintenance in current ownership resulting in all mechanical facets of ‘NWT670A’ being rated as “good.”

In summary:

· A rarely seen two door coupe model of the revered Mercedes W111

· Presenting in an excellent condition throughout and reportedly rust free

· Recently retrimmed and diligently maintained for immediate use
