Description
Rare Mercedes Classic 1957 W105 219 Ponton survivor for sale.
Please note, this is a reluctant sale. If my reserve is not met I will keep the vehicle. This vehicle deserves to go to a good home and be restored. This vehicle was purchased to be restored, but due to unforseen unfortunate family circumstances I am no longer able to complete this project.
The vehicle is a survivor and has mostly original features. Work on the interior has already commenced, and does cause the vehicle to present in a rough condition. A previous owner attempted to present the vehicle as another model through the poor and shabby installation of 220 dash facia and the correction of this is generating some of the rough cosmetic looks, as is the dilapidated headlining. There is evidences of rust, but replacement parts have been identified at Niemoeller of Germany and other classic mercedes parts dealers. The vehicle does run and drive, but was not on the road for several years before I purchsed it. I have driven the vehicle locally and the gearbox shifts and there are no strange noises and the brakes work. The exhaust fitted is not OEM or an OEM replacement and rattles on the chassis at low revs. Must be recommissioned before any proper road use is considered and it will need to be trailered or A/ framed away.
€2480. 40 worth of new parts and original second hand parts go with the car:
A new full OEM replica replacement exhaust
New head lining
New vinyl for dash and under rear windscreen
New windlace sets
New 1/ 4 window latch and handle
Replacement period and model correct wood dash facia
New rubber seal for rear window glass
New 135mm fog/ driving lights
Assortment of parts that came with the car
These vehicles are worth money when restored, ranging from €30K to €60K even for good mild restored versions.
Asking €14500 ono; definitely open to sensible offers.
Genuine buyers only please, tyre kickers, low ballers and time wasted will be ignored.
