Indran Rajanathan's Mercedes-Benz Pontons

To start with, my name is Indran. I am originally from Sri Lanka, but am now a citizen of Canada, living in Toronto for about 15 years. I came to know about the Mercedes-Benz Ponton website from the person I bought my Mercedes-Benz Ponton sedans from. I bought the Pontons from a gentleman named Mr. Jan Kloosterhuis. He bought them from somewhere in the USA I bought 14 Pontons from him. I have since sold 12 of them. Now I have two Pontons left, and will never sell them!

One is 1956 Mercedes-Benz Type W180 220S with Webasto sliding sunroof. The other is a 1959 Type W121 190 Ponton sedan, also with the optional Webasto sliding roof. I started these projects at the end of 2006. In February 2008, I finished the 220S, but the Type 190 sedan still needs upholstery work, which is currently in process. I learned a lot from the Ponton website. The information I found was fantastic, and so, I have to thank you. I am attaching some photos of my cars, and will submit more as time permits. 

Thank you, and its a pleasure to be a Mercedes-Benz Ponton owner displaying my beautiful classic Mercedes-Benz Pontons on your website.

Yours truly,
