1959 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Saloon with sunroof No reserve

1959 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Saloon with sunroof No reserve - Rare version with sunroof - Much recent work - Valuation report from 2024 - No reserve This elegant Mercedes 220 S saloon caught Guido Hommel’s attention as it is a rare version fitted with a large sunroof. When he bought it in 2017 from a German company that had owned it since 2011, the stylish saloon was in need of numerous items of work, which were immediately carried out by our client in his own workshop. The underbody was completely rebuilt and then treated, and the engine was completely restored. All the components needed to ensure it ran well were also replaced or rebuilt. The bodywork has an understated and highly elegant midnight blue finish, repainted in the past to a high standard. All the body seals have been replaced and the chromework is in superb condition. Inside the luxurious interior, the car features high-quality grey cloth and leatherette upholstery. Once behind the wheel, you will notice the optional Becker Europa radio, the column-mounted lever for the manual gearbox and the odometer reading 9857km. The inquisitive will discover the original owner’s manual in the glove box. Mercedes 220s of this generation are greatly appreciated for their consistent overall quality, thanks in particular to their agreeable in-line six-cylinder engines, and if the elegance of its colour is not enough to convince you, then the pleasure of the large sunroof fitted to this example is sure to win over the most demanding enthusiasts.
