The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz W120 is surely one of the marque's biggest keystones. With the 'Ponton', the brand brought in unibody construction and established the design language that would define Mercedes-Benz saloons for decades to come. It These elegant four-door saloons combined robust German engineering with refined styling, with rock-solid build quality and limousine-level comfort.
This particular 190 has been in the care of Mr Lambiase since 1987 - an extraordinary 39 years of single ownership. Originally imported to Italy in 1968, the car has clearly been cherished throughout its life and has recently undertaken a 400km drive that the vendor reports as being 'unforgettable' - a real time capsule, with no issues on the grand tour from Udine to Zurich.
For collectors seeking a Mercedes-Benz Ponton with an unimpeachable history and proven reliability, this car is likely to tick plenty of boxes. Ponton 190 (11) Simon Dzialo.png1.99 MB
