The 1950 Mercedes-Benz 170 S is a stunning example of postwar German automotive artistry, a model that combines elegance and technical finesse. Introduced in the early 1950s, this car, a refined version of the popular 170 V, marked a new beginning for Mercedes-Benz, which sought to re-establish its reputation for luxury and quality. The 170 S was praised for its stylish design, comfortable driving experience and robust mechanics, features that make the car a true classic.
This particular 170 S, newly delivered in the Netherlands, has an authentic history that is enhanced by the original 1952 linen registration certificate. In addition, the presence of a manual offers practical insights and adds extra value for the future owner. The car has been in the possession of the current owner since 1977.
Although the car is in running condition, the brakes need attention. The master cylinder is probably broken and the brakes need to be checked.The handbrake is still functioning well. These maintenance items present an excellent opportunity for an enthusiast to improve the car with care and ensure that it is back in top condition, preserving the rich driving experience that the 170 S offers.
The interior of the 170 S exudes luxury, with high-quality materials and a timeless design that focuses on occupant comfort. The spacious and well-appointed seats, along with the uncluttered dashboard and elegant trim, create a driving experience that is both relaxed and stylish. This makes the 170 S not only an impressive presence on the road, but also a comfortable companion for longer drives. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
