1957 Mercedes-Benz 180D Ponton Bakkie
Ultra-Rare South African Utility | Diesel Workhorse | Classic Collectible
This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 180D Ponton Bakkie is a true piece of South African motoring history, built by Morewear Industries of Germiston as part of a limited production run of between 500 and 550 units. Designed to meet the demands of a rugged work environment while maintaining the prestige of the Mercedes-Benz badge, these bakkies were unique to South Africa and easily identifiable by the distinctive gap between the load bin and the cab, a signature feature of these locally assembled conversions.
Powered by the 1.8L diesel engine, the 180D was renowned for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and bulletproof durability. With its unmistakable diesel clatter, it embodies the essence of a true workhorse from the golden age of motoring.
This particular example has been beautifully rebuilt, showing just over 54,000 miles on the clock. The wood-trimmed in the load bed has been tastefully added, enhancing both its functionality and vintage charm. Finished in classic white with a rich dark tan interior, this bakkie strikes the perfect balance between utility and style.
With its Ponton-era styling, ultra-low production numbers, and South African heritage, this 180D Ponton Bakkie is an exceptionally rare find. Whether you're a collector or an enthusiast looking for a one-of-a-kind classic, this is an opportunity that doesn’t come around often.
A true survivor and a piece of South African automotive history not to be miss out on!
