Description

Mercedes-Benz 220S Ponton
1957 · Right-Hand Drive (RHD)
74,650 km · Manual · Petrol

For sale is an exceptionally original 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220S Ponton – a rare opportunity to acquire a true “survivor” example in remarkably preserved condition.

This vehicle was delivered new as a factory Right-Hand Drive car and remains in its original factory color #516 Medium Red with original parchment leather interior.

The level of originality is outstanding:

100% original condition
Entirely in first paint
Unwelded body
Accident-free
Rust-free
Original interior
Never restored

The body retains its complete factory paint and shows no structural modifications. Finding a Ponton with an unwelded body in this condition is extremely rare today. The interior presents in authentic original condition, further underlining the car’s integrity.

Since 1985, the car was owned in Virginia (USA), where it was carefully preserved for decades. The ownership history is traceable.

Mechanically, the car functions largely as intended and reflects its honest, unrestored character. This is deliberately not a restored example, but a highly original and well-preserved vehicle with exceptional substance.

A 69-year-old Mercedes-Benz in this level of originality – especially in first paint and unwelded condition – is rarely available on the market, particularly as a factory RHD example.
