1956 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1956 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet is a used car showing 2,471 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Dunkelblau / Teigbeige with a Beige interior.

The 220 S was the six-cylinder flagship of the Ponton family, and its open version, offered from July 1956, sat on a wheelbase shorter than the saloon's and was assembled at Sindelfingen. This one carries the two-tone scheme the dealer calls Dunkelblau mit Teigbeige: dark blue above, a pale beige along the flanks, with beige hide and a beige hood.

It was taken apart and rebuilt in Germany in a restoration completed in 2019. Paint and leather are said to be excellent, the finishing correct, and the engine quiet and smooth. A former owner had suitcases tailored for each of his cars, and the set made for this one travels with it.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The 220 S replaced the 220 a in March 1956 and the Cabriolet followed in July; 2,178 were built until October 1959, when the W111 generation took over.

FAQ

Is this Mercedes-Benz 220 S priced above or below the European market?

At €149,500, it sits above the median of €123,243 for the 3 Mercedes-Benz 220 S advertised in Europe in 2026. 67% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

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.

The manufacturer's base list price was €10,993 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €149,500, 1260% above that figure.
