Descrizione
The Era
Or what was it actually like in those days?
The Mercedes-Benz 220 was introduced in 1951 at the IAA in Frankfurt together with the 300 (called
Adenauer) and including the first all-new six-cylinder engine from Daimler-Benz after the second world war.
The modern short-stroke engine with overhead camshaft was installed on the largely unchanged chassis of
the 170 S, helping the car to significantly better performance. The engine was used, with continuous
modifications, for nearly 40 years until 1989. The external appearance of the 220 displayed changes to the
bonnet and the headlights were now integrated into the wings. The new series was available as a four-seat
sedan, the two-seater cabriolet A, a four-seater cabriolet B and, for the first time after the war, as a two-seat
coupé. At a price of 18.500 Deutschmarks, only 1,278 examples of this exclusive cabriolet were built. The History
Or what happend to it over the years.
The vehicle was delivered to its first owner via the company Schultz in Hamburg Altona/Germany in 1952. First
registration was at 21/08/1952 in Hamburg/Germany. The German registration documents with three owners
from 1952 to 1972 are available. In 2016 the car has been subject to a total restoration at the highest level.
The Condition
Or how it really is. Original, given a facelift or fully restored?
The cabriolet A was recently fully restored. Technically and visually the vehicle presents itself in immaculately
good condition. The vehicle has proper clearances, is superb visually and everything works properly
mechanically. The car still has got its original engine from first delivery and the restoration was performed
according to colour specifications of the Mercedes-Benz data card.

The Performance
Or what is it like to drive?
A 220 A Cabriolet gives its owner, driver and passengers an inimitable feeling of serenity and calm, safe in the
knowledge that it can be relied upon as a quality product. One could say it is typical Mercedes - a symbol of
German craftsmanship! Trips with the top down are a sensory experience and you have security in the
knowledge that you have made a very stable investment. A Mercedes from the 50s in its best form - a 2-door,
2-seat convertible. It speaks both emotion and reason alike.
