• Rare and stylish Mercedes-Benz soft-top • One of 997 Cabriolet B models made • Present ownership since 1994 • Serviced regularly by local specialists in France • Good overall condition Introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show in April 1951, the Mercedes-Benz 220 was in effect a six-cylinder cousin to the four-cylinder 170S on the same 2,845mm-wheelbase chassis.

Although closely based on the 170S, the 220 featured more modern styling with headlamps integrated into the wings.

With 80bhp on tap courtesy of its 2.2-litre overhead-camshaft engine, delivered via a four-speed manual gearbox, the 220 saloon was good for a top speed of around 140km/h (87mph) - as was the Cabriolet B - with 145km/h (90mph) attainable by the Cabriolet A drophead coupé.

In the best Mercedes-Benz tradition, both of these convertible models were exceptionally well equipped.

Combined Cabriolet A/B production amounted to only 2,360 units in five years, 997 of which were the Cabriolet B version, as seen here.
