Beautifully engineered and exceptionally rare, the 220S ‘Ponton’ Cabriolet remains one of Mercedes-Benz's most desirable post-war Grand Tourers.
Mercedes-Benz had re-entered the six-cylinder market in 1951 with the Typ 220 and 300, both unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show of that year.
The 220 featured a 2195cc overhead-camshaft engine producing 80bhp and retained traditional separate-chassis construction.
A major redesign arrived in 1956 with the launch of the 220S ‘Ponton’.
Featuring modern unitary construction, independent suspension and improved performance, its revised 2195cc six-cylinder engine developed 100bhp, with a top speed of around 100mph.
A product of the Sindelfingen coachworks, production of the 220S ended in 1959 after fewer than 3,500 Coupés and Cabriolets had been built, including approximately 1,250 Cabriolets and only around 20 right-hand-drive examples.
This right-hand-drive 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet was imported into the UK around 1985.
