Beschreibung
The 220 was introduced in April 1951 during the Frankfurt Motor Show. It has a six-cylinder, longitudinal engine codenamed MI80, developing 80 BHP from 2. 2 litres of displacement. It was brought to Poland from Great Britain a couple of years ago. Then it underwent a restoration. After another couple of years, it was handed over to a specialist workshop dealing with vintage cars, where numerous adjustments and corrections were performed. Recently the frame, which is the most important structural element of the whole body, was also repaired. The interior received new upholstery and bright-coloured carpets, which underline the luxury character of the vehicle. On top of this, electric window mechanisms were repaired. Chromed elements are mostly in good shape. The car is complete, which is massively important for a vehicle of this age. Bright leather and wood panels are in a perfect state of repair. Mechanically, the car does not show signs of wear and tear, all systems work correctly and need no mechanical intervention. The engine starts and runs perfectly smoothly without any problems. This car is a true rarity, one of just 997 ever made. Back in the 1950s, it was a perfect example of exquisiteness which Mercedes was capable of. It is complete and has been preserved in a good state of repair, allowing it to be driven without trouble. It is registered as a vintage car.
