In a bizarre twist of fate, this car's design was based on the W111 coupé but widened and squared off as the fintail fashion was quickly fading by the mid-1960s. However, both W111 and W112 models were modernised; the 2..

The 2000 was advanced for the time with a De Dion tube suspension at the rear,..
