The Mercedes-Benz 170 S was a further development of the 170 V model and was significantly better equipped than its predecessor. This model, which was available as a saloon, Cabriolet A and Cabriolet B, was therefore the first Mercedes-Benz model to be designated “S”; it was often used as a management car. Only 830 vehicles of the Cabriolet A were produced between 1949 and 1951. This makes the Cabriolet A one of the rarest and most exclusive Mercedes models.
Are you looking for a truly perfectly restored vehicle that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also a perfect driver? Then this 170 S Cabriolet A, completely restored in Germany, is your ideal vehicle.
Rarely has a vehicle impressed us as much in terms of looks and technology as this 170. A highlight on all levels!
Let’s first take a closer look at the history of the vehicle. According to Daimler, the Cabriolet was completed on January 11, 1950 and delivered to the customer via the Mercedes-Benz Hanover branch. This is confirmed by an official letter from DaimlerChrysler Classic from 1999. The car card (management decision no. 3965) and the delivery bill also exist. Both documents certify the delivery of the car by rail from the Sindelfingen plant in January 1950. The documents also certify the factory equipment and all assembly numbers of the vehicle.
The old (replacement) vehicle registration certificate dates from 1966 and was issued in Stuttgart (registration number S-WM 284). The convertible remained in the Stuttgart area until the 1990s. It was then acquired by the previous owner, who decided to restore the vehicle, which had been neglected at the time, over a period of more than ten years with great attention to detail and without compromise. There are many original photographs from this period that document the progress of the restoration.
The restoration work was then completed in 2011 and the vehicle was re-registered to the then owner. Since then, the convertible has been driven carefully for around 20,000 km and always in good weather. The technology therefore works perfectly, as great importance was always attached to ideal driving characteristics. Despite its very good optical condition, this is therefore not purely a museum or collection vehicle.
To this end, the engine was perfectly adjusted by engine specialist Herrmann Salzgitter, among others, by creating an ignition curve ideally tailored to the engine, as well as centrifugal force and vacuum adjustment with a certificate of verification. Thanks to these specific measures, the engine has a particularly silky-smooth and low-consumption operation and responds perfectly to the throttle at any speed and temperature. A compression pressure test carried out by us also delivered perfect results.
The condition, color scheme and visual appearance of the convertible are a source of great pride and pleasure. The gaps are perfect, the doors close tightly, the bodywork is flawless and the interior and glazing are free of defects. The soft top was replaced true to the original as part of the restoration and is in perfect condition, including the associated mechanics.
You simply have to see this vehicle! SML CarGroup therefore cordially invite you to take a closer look at the vehicle and see the specifications for yourself.
