1958 Mercedes Benz 220S Cabriolet
1958 Mercedes Benz 220S Cabriolet
Believed to be one of just 20 built in RHD, with less than half of those remaining. The car is in gorgeous condition, having been subjected to a major body restoration a few years ago to a very high standard, as well as more restoration work, totalling some £175,000 in all! This is all documented with invoices. Also in the file of accompanying paperwork are an owner’s manual as well as an instruction manual in a Mercedes pouch. There is an original buff logbook, a continuation green logbook, photos of the restoration and various other documents. The paintwork is like glass and just fabulous! Chrome work is superb, and the whole car is beautiful, correct, and retaining original, mellowed red leather interior. The underside is as impressive as the rest of the car. Runs nicely and drives delightfully. Offered prepared, serviced & newly MoT tested.
Chassis No. R180030- 7506788. Reg No. LRS 26.
Snippets: Woollen Mills to Tetrapak
Dr Ian M. Munro took delivery of the Mercedes at his home in Roehampton. Little is known of Dr Ian but his wife Annie Violete Logie Watson was the daughter of Sir Logie Piri Watson, the industrialist. Annie was born in Kanpur, Bengal her parents being stationed there, and Sir Logie started his working life in the Jute Mills in Aberdeen, over time re-locating to India where he became a director of the Cawnpore Woollen Mills making fabric for uniforms. Sir Logie received his knighthood for services to the war effort and sadly died in 1933 some five years prior to his daughter’s marriage to Ian Munro. When Lady Munro died (1952) she left a large estate both in the UK and in India with Annie being the sole heiress to a considerable fortune. Annie Munro obviously enjoyed jewellery as in 1958 their home in Roehampton was broken into with some £3,000 worth of gems & jewellery being stolen – there is no record of them being recovered. Later owners of the 220S included Gordon Young of Aberdeen (retired farmer), Michael Grubb of Aberdour (hotelier), Jorn Anders Rausing (grandson of Tetrapak founder), Pierre Georges Mirabaud of Geneva (private Banker) and Hans Durr-Auster of Bulle (entrepreneur & collector of Citroen Traction cars).
