The manufacturing record of the 500K reveals its exclusive nature: no more than 105 were produced in 1934, 190 in 1935 and 59 in 1936. This superb car, chassis # 207793 was delivered to it's first owner sir Robert Mac Kenzie of London and its build sheet denotes the order to have been taken by London based "British Mercedes Benz Ltd" on 19.06.1935. In later years the car resided in Spain prior to the comprehensive restoration being undertaken some years ago.  SInce then the car has covered few miles during which time the hide covered seats have devloped just the right patina of use.In perfect condition, restoration by known Mercedes experts.Full paperwork & history.One of the best driving Kompressor Mercedes we ever experienced. A true 100 mph car.  Call for full for details.  If not sold prior to Retromobile we will be displeaying the car on out stand there.
