In 1964, Corgi Toys introduced the Mercedes 220 SE coupe model to the toy market. This model was sold under two numbers: 230 and 253. I don't know why the Mercedes miniature on the box was four-door, and not two-door as in the model. I was looking for this Mercedes for a long time. I finally managed to buy a badly damaged car at a flea market that was missing a roof pillar on the driver's side and a spare tire in the trunk. The gray tires that were on it were cracked due to age and I had to replace them with new ones made of polyurethane. Since the interior of the Mercedes was red, I used the original cream color in which it was sold. If the interior was cream, then I could paint this model blue metallic, red metallic or black. Thanks to the parts I often buy at flea markets, I was also able to replace the missing spare wheel that was in the trunk. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity in the video.
