Equipment
Inset rear spare, beige wire wheels matching the leather, dual spotlights, driving light, vee windshield. An intriguing combination of Cabriolet interior accommodations and Special Roadster elements (including the long, sweeping tail, set back radiator, vee windshield and front fenders.) An older restoration to good driving condition. Chassis doesnt appear ever to have been restored, just cleaned up and squirted with chassis black. Orderly but not restored underhood. Bernie Ecclestone Collection.
Market commentary
This is a very interesting Mercedes, with rare (probably unique) coachwork design. It is likely bound for the restoration shop where the realistic price paid here today is only the beginning of its final cost. Brilliantly restored, however, it will be a standout on the show field.
