Description
- In one hand for over 30 years - Previous complete restoration by Kienle - Regularly serviced and perfected by specialist workshops Description: Mercedes-Benz presented the Type 220 at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1951. The 220 Cabriolet A was and still is regarded as the most beautiful model in the entire series. Lush upholstery, ornamental wood in the interior and gleaming chrome on and in the vehicle lend this cabriolet the dignified elegance that was associated with Mercedes-Benz automobiles for decades. The power output of 80 hp enabled a top speed of 145 km/ h, making the 220 one of the fastest cars on German roads at the time. 1, 278 Cabriolet A models based on the 220 (W 187) were produced between 1951 and 1955. The vehicle presented here was fully restored by the Kienle company a few years ago. The Cabriolet has now been in the hands of its current owner for 30 years. Under his direction, the car has been continuously maintained and perfected in specialised workshops. According to the available data card, the current colour scheme corresponds to that of the original delivery. This Mercedes model is still one of the most elegant cars to have been built entirely by hand in the 1950s. Its extremely quiet running promises technically what the beautiful lines suggest.
