Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, dual rear spares, wide whitewalls, dual Bosch spotlights, mother of pearl instrument panel, Bosch headlights and dip beam, radiator stone guard. Chromed front suspension and springs. 1935 Berlin Motor Show display car, then delivered to Hans Friedrich Prym, later owned by the Imperial Palace. A well maintained old restoration by the IP that has seen little use and only minor age. M B Classic inspection identifys the engine as a period replacement, correct body. Lyon Family collection.

Market commentary

In its own way as important and spectacular as the later 540Ks and a beautiful individual example of Sindelfingens coachwork. It is amply but justifiably valued at this result.
