Mercedes-Benz 300 D.1953.
Specific info: This car has spent its entire life in Switzerland. The car comes from the first owner and has been stationary for 45 years. During this period, the car has been regularly started, inspected, and treated with care. The interior is original and in perfect condition. The engine and mechanics have been brought back to life. The body is undamaged and shows no trace of rust. The convertible top is in like-new condition. The car currently has a Dutch license plate. The car is matching numbers. General info: One of the most desirable variants of the Mercedes-Benz 300 designed by Hermann Ahrens is the large Cabriolet D, one of the last four-door convertibles produced by a European car manufacturer. Versions were produced on all 300 chassis variants, with the example offered here being an early production model on the original 300 chassis. Highly innovative for a large luxury car of its time, it features a 115 hp six-cylinder engine with an overhead camshaft, mounted on a race-inspired tubular frame with independent suspension at all four corners.
