Mercedes-Benz 219 W105 — 1959

A good, fairly rust-free object to move forward with enthusiasm. It starts and runs but needs brake and startup service as it has not been in traffic for over 45 years.

"Surprisingly good item that should be affordable for a handy car enthusiast to get back on the road again."

Description

The current owner purchased the car in 1974 from a neighbor who had bought it new. It was not in use at that time and was towed a few hundred meters to its new home. The current owner, who was 22 years old at the time, started repairing the car for rust. Some fenders needed to be acquired, and the easiest and cheapest way was to buy a spare parts car to take parts from. After learning how to weld, it was time to ignite the then 25-year-old car. The result was a satisfactory repair, but today it would have been easier to achieve a more authentic result with modern welders. Since 1977, the Mercedes has been stored in a heated garage, which has undoubtedly preserved the car for future generations. During the photoshoot, the car was started and ran smoothly almost immediately. Due to the lack of brakes, it was only driven a couple of meters out of the darkness of the garage. Most of the lights and the horn were working. There is a protective cover in the car, and the condition underneath is unknown as we did not remove it. A BLAUPUNKT FRANKFURT TR DE LUXE, which probably has been in the car, is included. Condition unknown.
The mileage is 56,101 km, but since the odometer resets at 100,000 km, it is reasonable to assume that it has traveled 156,101 km since new.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts and runs. There are no functioning brakes on it after almost 45 years of standing still. Therefore, we didn't dare to drive more than a few meters out of the garage and then back for photography. But it went well. The right front parking light does not work. Brake lights not tested. The car was last inspected in 1975. It has been in a heated garage since it was last used.

  • Interior condition:

    We did not remove the cover, so we do not know the condition of the underlying upholstery. The seller believes that the driver's seat upholstery was already worn out 45 years ago. Otherwise, please refer to the pictures.

  • Exterior condition:

    See pictures. The fenders have been replaced with better used ones, and some rust repairs were done using a gas welder in the mid-1970s. The front bumper has a soft dent and scrape. The external moldings are not installed but are bundled in the cabin. They have not been checked for quantity or condition. There are no hubcaps as they have been lost. For some reason, the fuel tank lid cannot be unlocked. The first thing that happened when the car moved to Stockholm was that the Mercedes emblem was stolen. It has not been recovered. The chrome is pitted and in less than good condition.

  • General condition:

    'A good item that should be able to be back on the street again after a thorough brake and start-up service. The tires are at least 45 years old but still hold the air reasonably well. Look closely at the pictures to get an idea of the condition of the car.'

Facts about the model

The Mercedes Benz 219 was produced between 1956 and 1959 in just under 28,000 examples. It could be described as a mix between the more luxurious 220 and the simpler 180. The 219 has the six-cylinder 220 engine but with only one carburetor. From the windshield back, it is modeled after the simpler four-cylinder 180.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
