1954 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A for Sale in Germany

This 1954 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A is a used car showing 54,113 km. It is powered by a 2,171 cm³ petrol engine rated at 86 PS (63 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Nickelgrün with a Grey interior. It is a 4-seat car.

Among the final W 187 cars to leave the line, this 220 Cabriolet A has the curved windscreen and curved dashboard of the late production. First sold in America in 1954, it has been in Germany since 1988; its present owner has kept it for about 25 years, after only two before him.

It is largely unrestored. The original leather seats have aged into a fine patina, the woodwork and brightwork are very well preserved, and every switch and instrument works, as does the rare Becker Brescia radio. The body is described as excellent, and only the paint shows some marks of age.

The car is located in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A uses the 2,195 cc M180 straight-six with a single overhead camshaft and a Solex 30 PAAJ twin-choke downdraught carburettor, rated at 85 PS (63 kW) at 4,800 rpm and 157 Nm at 2,400 rpm after the April 1954 update, for 150 km/h, with a four-speed manual gearbox with a column-mounted lever, driving the rear wheels.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 220 in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz priced above or below the European market?

At €75,000, it sits below the median of €134,370 for the 481 Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. 28% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Düsseldorf, Germany. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz 220 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €9,638 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €75,000, 678% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1952 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

54,113 km recorded, against a median of 19,000 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz are priced closest to this one?

a 2015 car in Germany at €75,000, and a 1960 car in Germany at €74,900. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 220, and how does a purchase work?

Movendi, a professional dealer in Düsseldorf, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 220 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Düsseldorf, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
