On Tuesday, we presented this week’s shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle whence it came. Almost everyone seemed to find this week’s shifter difficult to identify, but commenter Ali G. cracked the case with his guess that the stick belongs to a Mercedes-Benz 220SE. Ali G. will receive a Save the Manuals button and sticker as a reward.
The 220SE pictured here is from our August 1962 issue. Introduced as a sporty take on the W111-body Benzes, the 220SE came with a floor-mounted four-speed manual transmission, a stiffly sprung suspension, and—believe it or not—manual steering. The coupe’s somewhat porky curb weight meant the 134-hp 2.2-liter inline-six was slightly taxed, and the 0–60 mph run took a relaxed 12.7 seconds.
