Info about this vehicle:

1956 Mercedes-Benz 180 Sedan - Black - 45,391 Miles - Classic Post-War EleganceOverviewThe Mercedes-Benz 180 represents a pivotal moment in post-war automotive history. Launched in 1954, this model marked Mercedes' return to volume production and established the template for the modern saloon car. The 180 was the company's answer to rebuilding its reputation and market presence after the war, combining German engineering precision with understated elegance. This 1956 example is a genuine piece of automotive heritage from an era when Mercedes-Benz was redefining what a practical yet refined motorcar could be.This particular 180 sedan presents as a solid, honest classic. The black finish carries the patina of age with character, presenting the vehicle as a genuine period piece rather than a cosmetically refreshed restoration. The four-door configuration and five-seat layout made the 180 a practical family car for its era, and this example retains that original purpose-built character. The odometer reading of 45,391 miles suggests moderate use over its lifespan, though the unregistered status indicates it has been stored and preserved rather than in active service.At the classic car market level, the 180 occupies a sweet spot for enthusiasts seeking authentic 1950s Mercedes engineering without the investment required for the more celebrated 300 series. Recent comparable sales of similar-era Mercedes sedans in this condition range from GBP 8,000 to GBP 15,000 depending on originality and provenance. This represents genuine value for a documented piece of post-war German automotive history.Features* 1.5 Litre horizontal four-cylinder petrol engine* Manual transmission* Rear wheel drive configuration* Four-door sedan body* Five-seat capacity* Right hand drive steering* Black exterior finish* Period-correct specificationSpecificationsYear: 1956Make/Model: Mercedes-Benz 180Body: Four-door SedanEngine: 1.5L Horizontal Four-Cylinder PetrolTransmission: ManualDrive: Rear Wheel DriveOdometer: 45,391 MilesColour: BlackSeats: 5Steering: Right Hand Drive
