This Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet is finished in Crème with red leather seats and a black canvas top. It was completed at the Stuttgart facility on the 9th of July 1959 and came with amenities that included reclining front seats, Becker Europa radio, dual heater-defroster blower fans and a factory mounted outside rear view mirror. An extra kilo of original paint was also included.
The Nugent family acquired the car in the mid-1970s and used it for over a decade. In 1987, Mr. Nugent undertook having this car restored to its original grandeur. It was given a rotisserie restoration during which time it was also given a complete mechanical overhauling.
In 2012, the car was acquired by a Georgia collector who continued to care for the vehicle. It has been used only for special occasions and received regular servicing. The car is powered by a 2,195cc single overhead cam inline six-cylinder engine fitted with twin Solex carburetors and produces 120 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and hydraulic four-wheel drum brakes.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2018
