Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual spares, fitted luggage, radio, clock and fog lights. Paint, body and gaps all straight. Interior wood, dash and upholstery are perfect. The underside is clean enough to eat off. This is a seriously well restored car ready for concours competition complete with delivery tags and a full tool roll that leaves nothing to be done except take home some trophies.

Market commentary

This Mercedes has an air of elegance reminiscent of the 1930s. Exceptionally well restored, its only fault is that it is too nice to do anything but trailer to shows. The price paid reflects the enormous restoration cost and the rarity and desirability of these elegant cars.
