1950 Mercedes-Benz 170 S Cabriolet B for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1950 Mercedes-Benz 170 S Cabriolet B is a used car showing 420 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Graphite Grey with a Beige interior.

Its restoration was complete and exacting, with no shortcuts, and a recognised Belgian authority on classic vehicles has inspected and approved the result. A thick photo album records every stage of the work.

Graphite grey paint, beige leather and polished dark wood give it a quiet elegance, and it comes with a matching two-piece luggage set of the period, the kind of touring accessory that rarely survives. The car's history has been documented without a break since 1973. The Cabriolet B was the more luxurious 170 S drop-top, largely built by hand.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 170 S uses the 1,767 cc four-cylinder, larger than the 1,697 cc unit of the 170 V, rated at 52 PS (38 kW) and 112 Nm at 1,800 rpm, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. Longer and wider than the 170 V, it has double wishbones and coil springs at the front.
