NEW ARRIVAL: 1973 Jaguar E-type Series III V12 Roadster

NEW ARRIVAL: Please inquire.

1959 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet “Ponton”

The Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet was introduced in 1956. The two door open top variant of the W180 220 S, the cabriolet was initially powered by a 99hp 2.2L inline 6 engine, yet in 1957 it received a more powerful 105hp unit. The 220S Cabriolet was built until 1959.External changes were minimal, with the 220 S receiving a one-piece front bumper, down from a three piece, and a pair of solid chrome strips running under its doors in place of twin chrome and rubber ones. The most obvious difference was the addition of a fine, interrupted chrome accent strip running along the fenders and doors. The 220 S retained the 4-speed column shift manual transmission.

We are thrilled to offer this stunning 1959 Mercedes-Benz 220S  “Ponton” W180 Cabriolet . This wonderful example was originally delivered on January 1st of 1959 to Daimler-Benz of North America. We do have the original Mercedes-Benz Data card to confirm all numbers and the original color for this great car. We also have the original books, owner’s manual and such which went with this car when it was new.  The 220S presented here was previously restored in its original color hellbleu DB356 (light blue) and is complemented by its original cream leather with dark blue carpets and Schwedish Birke braun (Swedish Birch Brown Wood), in which is remarkably in excellent original condition.

We acquired this Mercedes Ponton from a Mercedes collector. The prior owner took excellent care of this car and presented the car at several car shows. Since our purchase, we have completed some work to improve the overall condition of the car both cosmetically and mechanically. We purchased new Michelin 185 R13 radial tires. The new tires were balanced on the wheels, and an alignment was performed. In addition, we had to recore the original radiator, as it had a few leaks. A timing adjustment was performed, and the original carburetors were tuned and adjusted as needed. A tune up was done with spark plugs installed. We did check the compression when the spark plugs were replaced, and the result was excellent of 142 psi to 154 psi across all 6 cylinders. Furthermore, the driver side window mechanism needed repair and to be welded, so we properly addressed this as well. A new manual auxiliary fuel pump was installed for easier starting function. We installed a new rear end seal, where the drive shaft meets the rear differential as it was leaking. This Mercedes-Benz went through an extensive detail with the interior cleaned, leather extensively refreshed/protected and cleaned. The exterior of the car was detailed, buffed and polished as well. All chrome on the car was polished by hand. The canvas soft top was also cleaned with fabric cleaner. Lastly, the underside was wiped down and cleaned, where there is no rust anywhere on this gorgeous Mercedes 220S.

We drove this car extensively and about 300 plus miles, showing and driving the car at the 2025 Shelton Vineyards Mercedes-Benz show at highways speeds of 80mph.  In addition, driving it to local car gatherings, as well as driving it around town. It is exceptional to drive. The column 4-speed shifter engages perfectly, and clutch feels great with no shutter.  The engine is quiet as can be with no valve train noises or unusual noises. In addition, the car has excellent power and can keep up with modern traffic but to be forewarned this car attracts a lot of attention. The power steering also feels strong and the car drives straight and does not wonder going down the road at all.  This Ponton holds temperature well and the cream seats keep the car cool. The brakes on this car stop straight, as they should and it does not pull in either direction. The soft top has a nice zip outside window which provides a nice air floor when driving with the convertible top. The seats in this car are so unbelievably comfortable, so that when you are driving you actual forget that you are driving in a nearly 70-year-old Mercedes-Benz. There is adequate room for 4 adults in this car as well. This wonderful Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet can be shown, but it is a high-level driver/show car and is a great driver’s car as it really shines nicely on the road. It needs and should be driven as all our cars need to be. The next owner will be sure to have plenty of miles of driving enjoyment and touring with this exceptional 1959 Mercedes 220S Cabriolet “Ponton.”

1970 Jaguar E-type Series 2 Fixed Head Coupe with 26,116 original miles.

We are proud to offer this exceptionally preserved 1970 Jaguar E-type Series 2 Fixed Head Coupe with only 26,116 miles since new. This Jaguar E-type was built on November 19 of 1969 and the date dispatch was December 15 the of 1969. The car is finished in its original color and mostly original paint of Light Blue with its original Black interior. This E-type is matching numbers throughout as confirmed through the data plate and the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate.

This special Jaguar was originally delivered on April 20th of 1970 to the new owner Mr. Gregorec of Allentown, Pennsylvania and sold by J.H. Bennett, Inc. (Bennett Jaguar of Allentown, PA). As we understand the story of this car, Mr. Gregorec’s ownership of the car did not last very long. He sold the car through Bennet Jaguar to the second owner in July of 1971 because his wife did not like the manual transmission. The second owner who was also from the Allentown area, had this car from July 1971 until 2024 when he passed away and subsequently was sold to my client (whom also lives near Allentown, PA and was his neighbor) in late summer of 2024 with under 26,000 miles. My client brought back the car mechanically to make it a wonderful driver. We purchased this car from my client in late March of 2025 and did some carburetor work and some cosmetic work which included new door panels (I do have the originals), new rear window seals, original style radio installed, rear door seal, new chrome rear window trim seal and new windshield (I do have the original). Furthermore, we also had the original engine compartment dry ice cleaned so it would look “clean original.” We have driven this car over 100 trouble free and fun miles. The car now has 26,116 miles and counting as we drive our cars.

This car has only traveled 26,116 miles since new 56 years ago or on average about 466 miles a year. It has had three owners since new and was recently serviced and gone through to make it a wonderful driver. The Jaguar presented here is mostly original, meaning it has original 56 year old paint. We have provided a number of videos and detailed pictures to illustrate the overall condition. This is NOT a car in need of restoration. It is a driver and should be driven. The car runs and drives excellent. It has excellent compression of 150 to 155 psi on all 6 cylinders. It maintains excellent oil pressure and the temperature even on the hottest of North Carolina days. This stunning Jaguar came with factory power steering which operates flawlessly. Also, it originally came equipped with factory Air Conditioning and although the AC is complete with parts etc., it is currently inoperable.

The Jaguar E-type we are offering is a wonderful driving car and ready to be taken on driving tours or used as a driver anywhere the next owner chooses. This is truly a special find of the very drivable and desirable Series 2 Jaguar E-type Fixed Head Coupe. A great Jaguar with unique history and ready for its next owner to enjoy long term.

SOLD: 1965 Jaguar E-type Series 1 Roadster

SOLD:

We are ecstatic to offer this stunning 1965 Jaguar E-type Series 1 4.2 Roadster This beautiful 1965 Jaguar E-type was built on April 2nd of 1965 and the date of dispatch was April 9th of 1965. This matching numbers Jaguar E-type was an original California car and the Heritage Certificate is included. We purchased this car from the son of the long-term owner, Mr. Toler. As we understand, Mr. Toler (the father), the Toler family owned this Jaguar for over 40 years.  The car was previously restored and Mr. Toler was active in the Northern Ohio Jaguar Club. We purchased this E-type in November of 2023 from Mr. Toler’s son (pictured below as a young man) and the car had been sitting in dry storage for several years. The son had an appraisal completed in September of 2015 and the car was appraised at $140,000. This was prior to our extensive refresh started in 2024 and completed in 2025. The car was off the road for several years when we purchased the car. It was for the most part in similar condition to when the appraisal was done. We have pictures of when we purchased in Ohio in November of 2023 and when the car was back at our shop in Cornelius, NC prior to the refresh we commissioned.

After a thorough inspection of this 1965 Jaguar, we planned a strategy to revise and refresh the car with some sensible upgrades. When we purchased the car, it was Sable with Black interior. We decided to repaint the car in Sable as it had been most of its life, and although the black interior was in excellent condition, we thought Biscuit with Sable would make this car truly stunning and unique.  The paint on the car was very nice old and would have looked great as a nice driver, but because the entire car was so well maintained, we deemed it worthy of a fresh paint job in addition to the new interior and other work we commissioned. The engine was also previously rebuilt during the prior restoration. The following is the work we had completed, but not limited to from 2024 through 2025 and invested over $75,000 improving this special Jaguar E-type.

  • All chrome, body trim, gaskets (new gaskets installed on reassembly) removed, and the complete exterior of the car was repainted Sable and underside of bonnet painted Sable as well.

There were several sensible upgrades made to the car with an emphasis on drivability as these cars are meant to be enjoyed and driven as regularly as they can be. We have invoices dating back to the late 1970s on this car as well as a newspaper article where this car was mentioned at an event where Mr. Toler had this car on display.  Furthermore, we have trophies, judging sheets, older pictures, and books to add to the special history associated with this car.
