The Appeal

Introduced in 1953, the W120 would go on to be the thoroughbred for Mercedes-Benz for nigh-on a decade. With its sophisticated Ponton proportions, comfortable cabin and distinctive executive character, it was a smart, shapely and attractive car that gained a reputation for top-notch build quality.

This particular vehicle has a rich history, starting life in Mozambique and then spending most of its time in sunny Portugal, owned by collectors who have meticulously maintained and restored it. The car's luxurious interior is beautifully kept, and that trusty M121 powerplant is present and correct. The car has spent two years in storage and will need a bit of waking up before returning to the road.
