1952 Mercedes Benz 220 W187 Sedan — Black, Used

A True Tale of Riches to Rags... and Back Again

1952 Mercedes-Benz 220 W187 Sedan

This stunning 1952 Mercedes-Benz 220 W187 Sedan represents a significant milestone in the brand's post-war recovery. As one of the first models introduced after World War II, it not only showcased Mercedes-Benz's return to luxury motoring but also featured an all-new six-cylinder engine. Unveiled at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show, the W187 must have captivated families and executives eager to rebuild and reclaim a sense of prestige. Produced until 1955, these models were renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The Journey of Our Car

While its early years remain a mystery, we do know that this grand old lady was discovered in a ditch on November 11, 1984. Advertised in Landbouweekblad on March 1, 1985, she was given a second chance at life by a dedicated new owner who spent years painstakingly restoring her. Finally, in 2021, she was officially registered and back on the road, reborn in all her former glory. Includes history of the restoration.

Classic Elegance Restored

Dressed in timeless black with a stunning red interior, this 220 W187 truly embodies the sophistication of a bygone era. The 2.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine purrs like a Swiss watch, delivering smooth performance and known for their reliability. And once you master the column-shift manual gearbox, driving this piece of history becomes an experience as rewarding as it is nostalgic.

With just 16,000 saloon models ever built, finding one in such fine condition is a rarity. More than just a classic car, this is an investment a rolling tribute to Mercedes-Benz's enduring legacy of luxury and engineering excellence.
