sold for \u20ac103,500\u00a0<\/strong>Offered from long term ownership, this Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A was completely restored in 1985-1986 by Atelier de Restauration de Touraine. Works carried out include dismantling to the chassis; restoration of the timber body frame; an engine overhaul; chassis restoration; new paintwork; fully re-trimming the interior; and refurbishing the entire electrical system, instrument panel and radio. Only a few months ago the brakes and clutch were overhauled and the car is described by the now elderly owner as in generally excellent condition, having been well maintained for the last 30-or-so years. Nicely presented in green with beige soft-top, this most stylish Mercedes-Benz cabriolet is offered with French Carte Grise and the quotation, invoice and photographs relating to its restoration.<\/p>\n<p><b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/3226\/1.html\">The Mercedes-Benz Sale 2015 by Bonhams<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1951\u21921955 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1100082-15361-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=6058&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1100082\">1<\/a><\/b><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=6058&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1100082\">952 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A 187.012.06634\/52<\/a> &#8211; sold for $286,000<\/b> Exceptional older restoration with minimal mileage since.
