AD Sportscars is pleased to offer this elegant 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet, presented in a highly refined Anthracite Grey exterior finish, colour code 172G, over a beautifully contrasting Red leather interior with matching Red carpets and a Black soft top.

First registered in October 1957, this 220 S Cabriolet belongs to the celebrated Mercedes-Benz “Ponton” era, a defining chapter in the marque’s post-war history. The Ponton models introduced a more modern and integrated body design, moving away from the separate-wing proportions of pre-war automobiles while retaining the formal elegance and craftsmanship for which Mercedes-Benz was already renowned.

At the time of its launch, the 220 S Cabriolet represented one of the most prestigious and exclusive ways to experience Mercedes-Benz motoring. Far more than a simple open version of a saloon, it was conceived as a luxurious two-door cabriolet aimed at a discerning clientele, combining refined engineering, understated presence and exceptional build quality.

With its 2.2-litre inline-six engine and 4-speed manual gearbox, this example offers the smoothness, character and mechanical refinement expected from a high-grade Mercedes-Benz of the 1950s. The car is a matching numbers example, an important detail that further enhances its authenticity and desirability.

The 220 S Cabriolet was produced in limited numbers, making it one of the more exclusive body styles of the Ponton generation. Its elegant proportions, long soft top, refined cabin and distinctive two-door silhouette give it a presence that feels almost coachbuilt in spirit. It offers the charm and grace of a special-bodied classic Mercedes, while retaining the engineering integrity and reliability associated with the marque.

This particular car has Belgian registration documents since 2021 and shows 77,000 km. It benefits from a professional restoration and is presented today in very fine condition, both cosmetically and mechanically. The bodywork, interior and overall presentation reflect the quality of the work carried out, while the car is functions as it should in every respect.

Finished in Anthracite Grey with Red leather and a Black soft top, this 220 S Cabriolet combines elegance, rarity and period-correct sophistication. More discreet and intimate than the larger Mercedes 300 models of the same era, it remains a particularly attractive choice for the collector seeking a luxurious open Mercedes from the 1950s with genuine presence and historical appeal.

A beautifully restored and matching numbers example, this 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most elegant open Mercedes-Benz models of the Ponton period.
