In terms of ‘Classic Mercedes-Benz’, the W111 Coupe is near the top. Rightfully so, as it is a product of Frenchman Paul Bracq who was also responsible for the Pagoda, 600, and even some other iconic cars at BMW, Citroën, and Peugeot. It’s as every bit as elegant and stunning as anything that rolled out of the factory in Crewe, England at rival Rolls-Royce/Bentely, and the build quality is on par with some international bank vaults. Even doing a quick Google search for “W111 Coupe” will have you lost in an array of stunning examples. However, I highly doubt a Google search will turn up this color combination. This 1966 up for sale in Florida is painted in Sandbeige Metallic over a green leather interior. Yes, green. Not that green that almost looks like black. No, this is Saint Patrick’s Day green. Wait until you peek inside this car.

You have to wonder how a color combination like this gets made. Is the car coming down the production line and someone said “Hey, we have some gold paint leftover and a green interior, will that be okay?” Did someone order this car like this? The thing is, I don’t hate it. To me, the more unique, the better. I say this as someone who owns a silver over black and tan over brown Mercedes, but give me these crazy interiors all day. All that luscious wood just finishes the interior off so well, but the grey carpets are a little bit of a head scratcher. Not the end of the world, but no one will focus on those anyway.
Prices for the W111 Coupe are all over the map depending on engine choice and condition. You can grab a really early model for under $20,000 if you don’t mind a little bit of a project, and go all the way up well into six-figues for 3.5s in outstanding condition. This car has been offered for a few weeks starting in the high 30s but has been slowing falling to it’s current price of $32,500. Not a bad price at all given it’s recent maintenance and condition. I honestly think the Sandbeige Metallic will hold this car back more than the green interior as no one is out there jumping to sign up for “old man tan”, myself included.

Love it!
Nice car, but wow on that interior. I have seen worse. lol
If you ignore the interior it’s a beautiful example. It’s just so, well, shocking of a contrast.
For well over 40 years I have thought about getting one of these.but with a sunroof. Someday.I’d be concerned about rust. My ’67 230Sl was a gorgeous Euro delivery..but the headlight buckets were toast……
I like the color combo tho.but then I’m just weird I guess. I’d also prefer a manual. Oh well.someone will eventually end up with an apparently nice W111.
This is definitely not “old man tan.” Rather, it reminds me of some mid-50’s Cadillac colors. I think it looks really elegant in this color. The interior is a shock, though.
This is marvelous. Look at the contrast with the beautiful wood over the tach with the green on the dash. It’s like a Forest Service guy found a pot of gold and immediately hit the Benz dealer. Love it.
Love it. The colors are the epitome of haute classe of the early 60s.
