Discription:
Of the most beautiful and most expensive pre-war Mercedes, the 540 K special roadster, there were only 29 vehicles as 540 K, which in turn can be divided into 3 – 4 different variants. This is a fully restored 540K which was delivered in 1937 (1 of only 29 built) as a 2 door long wheelbase saloon. The chassis with axles was found at the end of the 90s and then restored in a German specialist company and fitted with this rare special roadster body – which probably only existed twice.
(See Jan Melin “8 Cylinder Supercharged” Volume 1 page 81) . Very nicely documented!
