This 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 (W121) "Ponton" is an exceptionally well-preserved example of Germany's classic unibody engineering. Single-family owned for the last 14 years, this vehicle was originally acquired in Cape Town from a Mercedes-Benz dealership director, whose wife kept it as a cherished collector's piece and wedding car.


The vehicle retains its factory-original engine and manual gearbox, offering a smooth, dependable mechanical drive. Showing roughly 98,000 miles on the odometer, it is in overall very good running condition with no known mechanical or electrical issues.


Finished in an elegant shade of blue over a clean cream interior, the car maintains its timeless aesthetic appeal. The bodywork and cabin present remarkably well, having been preserved in its current high-standard state throughout its current 14-year tenure. The vehicle is fully registered and licensed up to date in the owner's name.
