Equipment
3-speed (?) manual transmission, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, driving lights, column shift, later cassette stereo, VDO dash clock, wood dash and door trim.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Recent mechanical service and new brakes. Lightly pitted bumpers. The rest of the brightwork is fairly dull. Decent older paint. Heavily pitted door handles. Passenger's side door sticks way out at the bottom. Uneven trunk gaps. Rocker trim isn't on straight. Discoloration on the underside of the top. Sound, lightly worn interior. Plenty of dirt and wear underneath. A thoroughly enjoyed older restoration that's on the verge of tired.
Market commentary
The car card says this 220S has a 'desirable 3-speed manual transmissio', a claim that is hard to buy since, 'desirable' or not, there is no evidence of M-B ever putting anything other than a column-shifted 4-speed in the 220S. The bidders looked at the used, neglected condition of this 220S and concluded it had more problems than they wanted to assume.
