Summary

For sale is a Mercedes 220 Cabriolet in Ice Blue Metallic with red leather interior, originally delivered in the U.S. The engine and transmission are in good condition; the vehicle is roadworthy with a TÜV inspection valid through July 2027. Prospective buyers should take into account the poor condition of the paint (grade 4–5), the cracks in the leather interior, the worn-out suspension bushings, and the unverifiable odometer reading when making their purchase decision. The vehicle offers restoration potential; the year of manufacture (1954 or 1956) and engine details should be verified before purchase.
