About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

First registered in Switzerland. Full ownership history. Restored from 2006 to 2009. Comes with original luggage. Dirty tires. Decent but not great repaint. Very good and clean engine bay and underbody. Very good interior. Dull original steering wheel. An attractive classic cruiser in eye-catching colors. It's not an immaculate restoration, though, and 10 years after the work was done you couldn't call it much better than a very pretty driver.

Market commentary

It's the M-B star on the front of this boring, underpowered Mannheim Benz that makes its reputation and its value. 55hp is not a lot, but a burger or gauleiter would have been gratified to have such a ride in 1940. Today, not so much, and the seller should be gratified to get this much for a usable but not attractive relic.
