Bombing
Built in 1935 & bodied as a sedan, this car was first used as a demonstration unit by Mercedes Benz themselves. It was then later sold to HRH Prince Albrecht (son of the last crown prince of Bavaria). He used the car from his palace at Leuchtenberg in Munich until it suffered serious war time damage due to allied bombing.
Flamboyant
The remains of the car were acquired by noted marque specialist the late Franz Prahl who constructed down to the minutest detail the fabulous flamboyant special roadster body we find upon the car today. It was made with reference to the original factory drawings & is indeed an amazing recreation of what was the "must have" body work in the 1930's.Matching numbers
