    Part of The Connoisseur Collection

    A rare and covetable matching-numbers example

    One of only 830 examples of the Cabriolet A produced between 1949 and 1951

    The most attractive version of the 170 S cabriolet

    Complete with a copy of its factory build data, and period Karl Baisch fitted luggage

    Single-family ownership until 2017; a beautifully preserved example



    Unveiled in May 1949, the W136 Mercedes-Benz 170 S can be considered a forerunner to the S-Class. Longer, wider, and better equipped than the Stuttgart firms best-selling 170 V, it was fitted with an enlarged 1,767 cc version of that cars M136 four-cylinder engine. The vast majority of these impressive early post-war Mercedes-Benz featured saloon coachwork, but some 2,433 in Cabriolet A and Cabriolet B specification were built from 1949 until 1952. Unquestionably, the most attractive and desirable of these is the rare and exclusive Cabriolet A; just 830 were built.



    Finished in green, chassis 04915/51 was completed by the factory on 8 June 1951. The following day, the Mercedes-Benz was despatched by rail to Philipsons Automobil AB of Stockholm, and was allocated the Swedish registration number BNU 684 five months later on 19 November. The car stayed in Sweden for the next 66 years, during which time it had just three registered ownersall thought to be from the same family.



    In 2017, this 170 S was acquired by The Connoisseur Collection from the first owners grandson. Although now 72 years old, this lovely time-warp Mercedes is said to be unrestored, and the attractive green paintwork with mushroom leather may well be original. In September 2023, the car won the FIVA special award for most authentic car at the Concours dElegance DrustaR. In keeping with its history of long-term ownership, this magnificent car comes complete with period books, tools, and sought-after three-piece Karl Baisch luggage set.
