‘Anyway, here’s some historical stuff…In 1946, with singer Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis formed the comedy duo Martin and Lewis – Dino was the straight man to Lewis’s wacky antics; together they starred in 14 movies.

‘He also famously hosted The Jerry Lewis Telethon, raising $2.6 billion for sufferers of muscular dystrophy. Among his many claims to greatness, Jerry Lewis, who passed away in Las Vegas in 2017, was – and still is – a huge star in France, a country known for its intense cultural taste. Oh la la!

‘Whatever, this Mercedes-Benz 220SEb Cabriolet, an original from the Golden State that was built in 1965, is in a splendid condition. And Beverly Hills Car Club is delighted to present to you this beautiful car. It comes finished in its factory color Horizon Blue complemented with a dark blue interior.

‘Amenities include a driver-side rear-view mirror, forward-folding front seats, rear bench seat, folding rear seat armrest, glove compartment, manual-crank windows, vent windows, door pockets, center console, analog clock, and sun visors with a vanity mirror on the passenger side.

‘In addition to the equipment, this German classic comes with manufacturer’s literature and many receipt copies totaling over $42,000 that has been invested into the vehicle dating from August 1986 through December 2022.

‘And sixty or so years ago the 220SEb very rapidly seemed the physical manifestation of the post-World War II German economic miracle, almost literally the engine behind the fastest growing economy in Europe.

‘The Mercedes Benz 220SEb Cabriolet first debuted in February 1961 to celebrate the re-opening of the Daimler-Benz Museum in Stuttgart and the 75th anniversary of Mercedes.

‘The Coupé and Cabriolet would continue until 1971, with the 280SE of 1967 and the 280SE 3.5 of 1969, sophisticated, reborn Germany at its height, motor-cars perfect for hurtling along the nation’s autobahns – which had no speed limit imposed on them.

‘These were two-door Mercedes-Benz grand tourers that were the height of perfection.
