1956\u21921959 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Coup\u00e9<\/h1>\n

In 1956 Mercedes-Benz began to offer their 220 model in a lavish coupe and cabriolet that sold in much smaller numbers than the sedan they were based off.<\/span><\/p>\n

From October 1956 until late 1959, 1,251 coupes were made alongside 2,178 cabriolet and over 55,000 sedans.<\/p>\n

These cars used the M180.924 inline-6 engine which was one of the last to use regular carburetors over an injection system. The single carb units produced around 100 bhp while the later cars used two Solex 32s to produce 105 bhp.<\/p>\n

All the cars used a 4-speed manual transmission, but Mercedes-Benz did offer a Hydrak automatic clutch that used switches in the column shift lever to activate.<\/p>\n

1957 Mercedes-Benz 220S coup\u00e9 7511652<\/a> – sold for \u20ac51,750
\nSince acquisition the car has been used sparingly and currently displays a total of approximately 81,100 kilometres (50,400 miles) on the odometer. Serviced annually by a retired Mercedes-Benz mechanic, the car is described as in very good condition, both mechanically and bodily, and is said to need only a few very minor improvements to bring it back in showroom condition. With few owners and relatively little used, this rare 220S coupe represents a wonderful opportunity for the discerning collector to own one of these graceful, limited-edition Mercedes-Benz models of the classic era. The car is offered with technical inspection and Belgian Carte Grise.
