SUMMARY
A well appointed late 1950s Ponton, superbly restored throughout.
DESCRIPTION
- A replacement for the 170 Series, 'Ponton' (German for Pontoon, a reference to the styling) saloons were introduced in 1953, remaining the mainstay of M-B production until 1960
- For 1956, the 220 became the 220S with twin Solex carburettors and 100bhp
- This handsome example was imported from the US in 2014 and is now registered with a V5C
- Sensibly upgraded with a later 250S 2.5-litre engine for added performance
- Superbly presented exterior in gleaming Maroon enhanced by a silver cap
- Equally impressive interior fully retrimmed in tan leather with new carpets and headlining
- Now running on slightly later and more aesthetically pleasing Mercedes 14" wheels
- Maintained as required by its current fastidious owner, with recent works including a rebuilt rear axle, replacement clutch, brake overhaul including a new servo and a new exhaust
- Accompanied by a comprehensive history file including various invoices and associated items
- In fine order throughout, however the speedometer is not currently working and may require attention
- Beautifully made, these late 1950s cars are great entry-level classics that can be enjoyed by the whole family
