• Very rare Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet (W180) — one of the most exclusive Ponton convertibles
• Only approx. 2,178 examples produced — highly sought-after by collectors today
• Hand-built convertible with classic inline six-cylinder engine and timeless elegance

• Professionally restored and in perfect condition
The 1959 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet ranks among the most prestigious post-war German luxury convertibles. Within the iconic Ponton series, the cabriolet version represents the most exclusive and rare model. This open variant was hand-built and intended for a select clientele seeking comfort, engineering excellence and status at the highest level.
Under the bonnet lies the well-known inline six-cylinder engine, renowned for its smoothness, reliability and refined operation. Combined with the comfortable chassis and open bodywork, the 220 S Cabriolet offers a relaxed grand touring experience in classic style. The model is often regarded as the elegant predecessor of later Mercedes SL convertibles, carrying a more aristocratic character.
Today, the 220 S Cabriolet is an exceptionally rare sight on the market. Due to the limited production numbers, only few examples have survived. This makes the model highly desirable for enthusiasts seeking a distinguished open Mercedes classic with historical value.
