AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
This white Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet is an exclusive classic, of which only about 1,100 units were built in the 1957 production year. The vehicle was delivered on April 26, 1957 to its first owner in Bad Godesberg, Germany. The classic car is privately owned, is in good condition with some signs of use, and exhibits absolute everyday usability, which is not self-evident for vehicles of this age. Currently, the odometer shows a mileage of 65,898 km. The car is drivable and can be reliably used for everyday driving or excursions.
BODYWORK & PAINT:
The body and paint of this white cabriolet are in a beautiful condition thanks to a complete restoration carried out in the past. The high quality of these works is still evident today in the excellent gaps between doors, hood, and trunk.
TECHNICAL:
Technically, the vehicle is in top condition. The iconic six-cylinder engine features “Matching Numbers,” as proven by the original plates. After its re-import from the USA, the vehicle’s mechanics were refined in a German specialty workshop for Ponton cars in April 2021 and June 2023. Documentation totaling 19,653 euros exists for this work. The engine runs very smoothly and can be driven in traffic jams in second gear without engaging the clutch. The car is registered with a historic license plate (H-Kennzeichen) and the TÜV (technical inspection) is valid until August 2025.
INTERIOR:
Although the exact equipment of the interior isn’t described in detail in the text, the interior matches the well-maintained overall condition of the car and invites you to enjoy open-top classic driving.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle has an interesting and rich history. Included is a letter from March 1983 from DST GmbH to an owner in Saudi Arabia, including photographic documentation proving the complete body restoration. The 1984 International Vehicle Registration Certificate for import into the USA is also available, along with the purchase documents from the import through a Dutch car dealer in 2020 and the technical report for obtaining the individual operating permit from 2021. In addition, several historical documents such as the original data sheet, original brochures, the operating manual, two very extensive workshop manuals, and special books and literature are being sold with the vehicle.
PICKUP:
It is recommended to view and inspect the vehicle before bidding to avoid later discrepancies and disappointment. Please contact Catawiki to arrange a viewing appointment.
OTHER INFORMATION:
The Cabriolet has a special history, beginning in Germany and taking the car via Saudi Arabia and the USA (Missouri and Santa Fe) to Amsterdam in 2020. In September 2020, the car was purchased by the current owner, transported to Munich, and has since been technically brought to an absolute top condition.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
