Unveiled in May 1949

wider
and better equipped than the Stuttgart firms best-selling 170 V
it was fitted with an enlarged 1,767 cc version of that cars M136 four-cylinder engine. The vast majority of these impressive early post-war Mercedes-Benz featured saloon coachwork
but some 2,433 in Cabriolet A and Cabriolet B specification were built from 1949 until 1952. Unquestionably
the most attractive and desirable of these is the rare and exclusive Cabriolet A

Finished in green
chassis 04915/51 was completed by the factory on 8 June 1951. The following day
the Mercedes-Benz was despatched by rail to Philipsons Automobil AB of Stockholm
and was allocated the Swedish registration number BNU 684 five months later on 19 November. The car stayed in Sweden for the next 66 years
during which time it had just three registered ownersall thought to be from the same family
In 2017
this 170 S was acquired by The Connoisseur Collection from the first owners grandson. Although now 72 years old
this lovely time-warp Mercedes is said to be unrestored
and the attractive green paintwork with mushroom leather may well be original. In September 2023

this magnificent car comes complete with period books
