Original 1958 Mercedes-Benz 219 W105, presented in an elegant dark green and cream two-tone, paired with its original cloth interior.
This example has remained with the same family since new, an increasingly rare provenance. While factory paint originality cannot be formally certified, the family is adamant this is the original colour combination, supported by period family photographs dating back to the 1970s. The vehicle retains its original owner’s manuals.
The odometer shows 32,000 miles, believed to be 132,000 miles, consistent with age and condition.
