This Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet belongs to the Ponton family, the first unitary-body Mercedes-Benz passenger cars of the 1950s. The coupé and cabriolet versions of the six-cylinder 220 S, built by hand in Sindelfingen from 1956 to 1959, were the most exclusive Pontons. First registered in February 1957, this car shows 6,807 km on its odometer and is offered by Miroslav Pavlík in Písek, Czechia.
The M 180 straight-six displaces 2,195 cm³, with an overhead camshaft and two carburettors. The seller quotes 78 kW, the 106 PS of the uprated engine that Mercedes-Benz fitted to the 220 S from 1957. Power goes to the rear wheels; a four-speed manual gearbox with a column change was standard on the model, and the seller does not state the gearbox of this car.
The seller describes only the facts of the listing: year, mileage, petrol engine, power and black paint, with no written description or equipment list.

The car is located in Písek, Czechia. The dealer quotes it as: Margin scheme, VAT not deductible. 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 CZK 2,500,000, 842% 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 1956 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.
6,807 km recorded, against a median of 16,354 km across the Mercedes-Benz 220 S advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.
