Condition
Sold new to the German Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg, mother of the future king of Sweden, continuously documented since. Restored with good paint, chrome and interior. Loose fitting top. Clean, orderly, dry engine compartment. Not fresh, but a good example and a rare survivor of the model with practical and good looking coachwork by Mannheim.
Market commentary
As the online description notes, a concise, confirmed history for a Mannheim M-B of this era is rare in the extreme and this result hinges upon that history as well as the exceptional condition of its older restoration. It will get its new owner into the same events frequented by supercharged 8-cylinder M-Bs (or at least many of them) and is a high quality, distinctive, open car with attractive lines if moderate performance. This is a sound value for the new owner and for the seller.
