As a classic car dealer you are surrounded by beautiful cars every day and you get used to them. But every now and then you have a car that really fascinates you, that stands out from the normal classic cars. It doesn't have to be a spectacular, extra expensive 12 cylinder. It's the authentic cars that fascinate, the well-preserved originals. Cars that, even after 57 years, still have their first paint and leather, but stand there as if they had been restored. Cars with charisma and personality that impressively document the former size and nobility of a Mercedes-Benz.
These were once the best cars in the world. Here you can see and feel why. Just opening or closing a door speaks volumes. Everything has been meticulously cared for by an owner who has valued and respected his car for half his life. And this is such a rare car.

Kienle subjected the then 46-year-old Mercedes to a comprehensive technical overhaul and engine overhaul, the invoice amount for which amounted to a whopping €77, 595. 89 plus(!) VAT. A folder with photo documentation and a meticulous list of all the parts installed, right down to the individual washer, is part of the vehicle documents. commissioned the sale because he has another classic in mind. A rare opportunity to own a vintage Mercedes-Benz car in such phenomenal, authentic condition.

The popular special equipment power steering, automatic transmission and electric sunroof are complemented by the radio Becker Europa special equipment, the excellent armrests at the front, an orthopedic driver's seat back (1967!) and the practical luggage nets on the seat backs of the front seats.
