Characteristics

• Exterior and interior: The dark green manufacturer's colour, together with a distinctive radiator grille, skilfully sets the scene for the classic lines. It should be mentioned that repainting cannot be ruled out. The elegant green is paired with a light fabric interior in the interior. Furthermore, the classic charm in the interior is underlined by a three-spoke steering wheel and a brown and olive dashboard.
• Engine and transmission: This Ponton 180 is powered by a four-cylinder engine with 52 hp. By means of a manual transmission, the power generated is transmitted to the axles. It is not known when the last service took place.
• Mileage: 29,543 km can be read on the 5-digit speedometer. The seller explicitly points out that the actual value is not comprehensible and can therefore be higher. A checkbook is available, but there are gaps.
