- 1958 Merc 219 Ponton
Hi fellow Ponton owners. I have a 1959 219 and would like to know how many more there are in the UK.
I know that there are still a few in the States and some scattered around Europe, but not sure about the UK. I have tried the DVLA but unfortunately their records don't detail the model, just recorded as Mercedes saloon.
Also, I'm trying to avoid a total restoration, I'd rather keep it as a sympathetic restoration to it's age. The car is in good order generally but suffers badly rusted rear bumper corner sections (both sides).
I don't want to re-chrome both sets of bumpers (re-chroming the corners will show up the rest which will then have to be done ). Does anyone in the UK by any chance have any corners for sale?
Many thanks,
John
