MERCEDES-BENZ 220

Saloon, fixed head coupè, 2-seater cabriolet, 4-seater cabriolet.

The original 220 with 170S styling apart from its integrated headlamps and fixed bonnet sides, the latter impeding service work. 90mph and 22mpg, but available in UK only from October '53. Rhd almost never seen. Coupès (only 85 made) and cabriolets very rare, thus expensive.
