Over at Autoshippers, we’ve recently had the pleasure of shipping a classic Mercedes to Hong Kong, China: The Mercedes-Benz 220 S Ponton (1959).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These stunning cars first came off the line in 1953, nicknamed Ponton<\/em> (German for Pontoon) as a nod to the pontoon-like styling of the body which resembles the pontoons found on seaplanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This car ranges dramatically in price, from around \u00a310,000 to over \u00a3100,000 depending on the variation, condition and mileage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 220 SE Cabriolet from 1960, for example, is on Classic Trader for just under \u00a3132,000<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, the Ponton range of Mercedes cars are thought to be the beginning of the lineage of the E-Class range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team at Autoshippers are always excited to see a piece of history such as this pass through our hands and we’re always happy to help it reach it’s new home overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
