Market commentary
SSKs and 540Ks bring more money, but this is such an impressive and intricate construction it is very worthy of standing proudly beside them. The automobile was hardly a teenager when this Mercedes was built. In an era of one and two cylinder buggies this is a true automobile. Progress was fast and so is this Mercedes. Bought by another great collector, who was overjoyed to get it and will drive and enjoy it. Well bought.
