Renowned for their high quality engineering, the Ponton series put Mercedes-Benz on the map in Australia. This car was in Victoria for many years before coming to WA. It’s the 1.9-litre 4-cylinder version with 4-speed manual gearbox.
The car has benefitted from being repainted and retrimmed throughout (seats, carpets, roof lining), by the previous owner. It’s not in perfect condition, requiring attention to some cosmetic items, however it runs and drives well. The car was always reliable for its most recent owner who passed away recently.
Original books, tools and jack are with the car with a small quantity of parts. The custom number plates 1959 MERC will be sold with the car to a WA buyer.
A comfortable, easy to work on, well built car, with excellent support from marque clubs and international supply of parts this would make an excellent first classic or an interesting addition to a collection, at a very accessible price.
