Is there an interview with owner or something that explains more than it exists and hasn't been updated?

Is there an interview with owner or something that explains more than it exists and hasn't been updated?
- Tade0 6y agoI tried to find any additional information, but apparently the owner is not interested in any media attention. Worst part is I've been to Mosta - the city where the dealership is located, was aware of its existence then but when I saw it I didn't realise what I was looking at. I remember thinking "what a weird country to have such old cars on display". Anyway Malta is full of unusual vehicles - it's the only European country where I saw kei-cars on the streets.
- sokoloff 6y agoWe sold our classic 1959 Mercedes 220S cabriolet to a buyer in Malta. It seemed fishy to us at first (that someone would want to ship the car to Malta), but the buyer was totally legit, did everything exactly as he promised, and has sent us in-progress shots of the further restoration work he's done to it.
- gkop 6y agoI learned to drive (among other adventures) in a ‘64 220S sedan, Mercedes Blue. I believe your Cabriolet must have also been one of these special “heckflossen” huh?
- sokoloff 6y agoOurs was a long body Ponton. Fintail/Heckflosse followed the Ponton series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Ponton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Ponton http://www.mbzponton.org/pax058/people/sokoloff/sokoloff.htm http://www.mbzponton.org/pax058/people/sokoloff/sokoloff.htm Somewhere, I have a video of us rolling the odometer over back to 00000.0 on a roadtrip back from a meet in Pennsylvania (true mileage unknown, but we believe that was the first odo rollover for the car).
- nradov 6y agoThe country is small, speed limits are low, and streets are very narrow. So kei cars make sense.
