The Typ 220 (W187) was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1951 as the new luxury car line-up by Mercedes-Benz. The Typ 220 came with several bodies including the exotic coupés and convertibles. The model had a 6-cylinder 2.2 litre petrol engine with 80 HP.

The designers were inspired by the 170S (W136) model which shared the same construction with a square cab and prominent, flowing mudguards and sills. The main and most notable difference between the two is the positioning of the headlights. The Typ 220 had headlights on the side mudguards for a more modern look. The production of the Typ 220 ended in 1953 and was succeeded by the W105/W180. The coupé/convertible was built until 1955.

They sold 18,514 units in the 5 years the Mercedes W187 was produced.

Saloon: 16,154
Conv. A: 1,278
Conv. B: 997
Coupé: 85

Only a small numbers of the 1,278 A convertibles built still drive around. This makes the Mercedes 220A a highly sought after car for any Mercedes enthusiast or collector.

This Mercedes was newly delivered in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1952. This originally European Mercedes subsequently found its way to a German enthusiast and collector.

The Mercedes is also very original and the car was only resprayed once in the past, the interior was completely renewed 8 years ago (invoice for 7,500 euros available), it is really in beautiful condition. The Mercedes has a matching set of suitcases.

Technically in very good condition, valued at 140,000 euros as a ‘German condition 2’ in 2015, the Mercedes has only increased in value since. This report will be included.

These Mercedes convertibles are offered less and less, especially in such neat and original condition. So don't wait too long!
