"Inspected and approved for road use, and ready to drive. A true delight to behold, equally suitable as a collector’s car or for enjoyable summer motoring."

Description

This is a car that exudes dignity and character. With its stately presence, it attracts attention without ever having to try too hard.

The car was imported to Sweden many years ago and has since been cared for with great attention and respect. The current owner has owned the Mercedes since 2017 and has continued to preserve and maintain it in the fine condition it enjoys today.

An older restoration is responsible for the car’s well-preserved appearance, and the quality of the work has stood the test of time. The paintwork still retains an attractive shine that highlights the elegant lines of the body, while the interior presents a well-kept and inviting atmosphere. It is immediately apparent that this is a car that has been cherished throughout the years.

This is not a museum piece that must be handled with extreme caution, but rather a well-restored classic in good driver-condition. It functions as it should and will make a delightful enthusiast’s car for someone who appreciates both driving and classic motoring. Here is a very fine Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet that not only looks the part, but is also ready to continue creating memorable experiences on the road for many years to come.

The car comes with two sets of keys.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The engine and drivetrain perform well, and the car behaves as it should on the road. The brakes operate smoothly and evenly. The car does pull slightly to the left, so a wheel alignment check and adjustment is recommended. The windscreen washer nozzle is missing, and its functionality is therefore unknown.

  • Interior condition

    The interior is in fine, well-maintained condition. The rear seat has been modified, and there is a gap at the rear edge of the seat cushion; please refer to the photos. This should be possible to restore to its original appearance without an excessive amount of work.

    The wood trim panels are in good condition, as are the door cards, carpets, dashboard, and seats. Overall, the interior presents very well and reflects the care and attention the car has received over the years.

  • Exterior condition

    The car was repainted some years ago and remains in good condition. There are a few minor blemishes, including a small crack in the paint on the right rear wing (see photo) and several light scratches that would likely respond well to polishing. There also appear to be a few paint blisters, visible near the windscreen wiper spindle and in a couple of other areas (not shown in the photos).

    The chrome trim is generally in good condition, although the trim surrounding the right rear wheel arch has suffered some minor damage and deformation. The chrome strip beneath the passenger door and the trim on the right front wing also show slight distortion, though this is difficult to see in the photographs.

    The car has been fitted with side indicator repeaters on the front wings. The underside appears to be in good condition.

  • General condition

    A beautiful and well-maintained Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet in good driver-condition. Addressing the windscreen washer system and carrying out a wheel alignment would elevate the car to an even higher standard.

Facts about the model

Production began in July 1956, and a fixed-roof coupé version followed in October of the same year.

A total of 3,429 examples of the 220 S were produced, along with 1,942 examples of the 220 SE.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • 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.
