Registration Number SIB 2960
Among the most stylish and technologically advanced cars of the 1930s, each Mercedes-Benz 500K Spezial Roadster took five months to build. An Art Deco masterpiece with Streamline Moderne overtones, the two-seater was penned by Hermann Ahrens, proof that Mercedes-Benz in-house coachbuilder, Karrosserie Sindelfingen, could hold its own against the likes of Italy’s Touring or France’s Figoni & Falaschi. With a supercharged 5-litre straight-eight engine under the bonnet and independent suspension at each corner, the Mercedes-Benz had the speed and poise to match its looks. Fearsomely expensive when new and rare as hen’s teeth, surviving 500K Spezial Roadsters can command upwards of $10 million today.
