Bob Dieck ◊ 2011-12-24 01:28	It is most probably a 220 S.

But I don't know how you, and plenty of others here on Imcdb, can see it's a 220 S in particular? As far as I know there's no difference between 220, 220 S and 220 SE from outside (apart from some chromed wheelrim embellishers that can easily be removed). And further more; from 1965 there were 230's as well. Production numbers should be evenly dispersed between 220 and 220 S and slightly fewer made for the 220 SE. Please remember that these were expensive cars for its time, and many should have been vary happy indeed if they could afford a 220 at all. Edit: Further investigation has reveled that 220 S made up for 43% of the [W111] production. I'll later make an investigation for the numbers here on Imcdb. -- Last edit: 2011-12-24 03:26:09
