It is hard to confirm, but hubcaps seems to me as separated ones from overriders. For an American version, the combinated light without the separated orange flashers between the headlights and radiator also suggests a very early version. I say 1961+ W111 220 SE. -- Last edit: 2013-01-10 13:04:11 |

Hmm, the wheels look 1968+ for me. |

Although it's difficult to be completely sure, I agree with Bob Dieck. The chrome rear view mirror also suggests it's an older model, but I don't think it's an US-spec car because although the headlights look similar (minus the amber indicator), they all had a separated indicator between the headlights and the grille (as mentioned). |

Rpcm, you're right about internal chrommed mirror, I didn't note. I have some photos of first Mercedes (1961) prepared to the American market. At that time, there was not the regulation that obliged a separate flasher and then those first 220 S have not separate flashers. I have a 1964 220-S with these American type headlights, but in my car there is the usual separate amber flasher in between and there is not any little bulb in the headlight unit. The separate amber lights concentrates both turning and position lights. I am not sure which year was the first under new regulations, but I can assure you that in 61 the lights were as in this photo. By the way, I have some headlight spares with bulbs and white flashers and one with bulbs and amber flashers, all from older cars than mine. |

I was basing my statement in the fact that the older US-spec Ponton cars already had specific separated round indicators, but I reckon you may be right and it makes sense that Brazilian-market cars had similar spec to those that went to the US. Nevertheless, it's not uncommon to see European cars that didn't come from the US (and weren't aimed to the US market) with the headlights with the amber indicator just like those on the pic. I also owned a 1963 220 S, an r.h.d. car (ordered with a km/h speedometer) that spent the first part of its life in Mozambique. |
