Equipment
Column shift 4-speed, dual Solex carbs, wheel covers, whitewalls, locking filler cap, wood dash and window trim, dash clock, Becker Europa radio.
Condition
Discoloration and grease marks on the driver seat, but otherwise very good interior. Paint drip on the passenger door but otherwise very good paint. Tidy engine bay and undercarriage. A 1990s restoration that has reportedly been driven just 1,000 miles since, but it shows its age.
Market commentary
Sold by Mecum in Kansas City in December 2012 for $64,660, then by RM from Don Davis's collection in April 2013 for $77,000. In all cases this M-B brouight a top price for an imperfect car. 2220Ss have been in the spotlight lately, but the truth is that post-war Mercedes-Benzes of all types have been moving up in price. At this amount, at least for the moment, there isn't any room left to fix some of the cosmetics.
