*Apparently this is a replica, not the real thing!
One of only 26 ever created, this 540K Special Roadster was a real treat to see at the July 2012 Caffeine and Octane car show... such an elegant and classy machine with absolutely timeless beauty!
I tried looking up the information for this particular example, as I know a similar one was sold at auction for several million dollars a few years ago, though I couldn't find anything on the web...
One 540K Special Roadster, bought new by the aristocratic Von Krieger family from Prussia in 1936, is expected to smash all-time auction records when it goes across the Gooding & Company auction block at Pebble Beach in August. In order to become the most expensive car ever to be sold at auction, the Von Krieger 540K Special Roadster must surpass the $16,390,000 price paid for the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa that currently holds the title... Regardless of the outcome, the 540K Special Roadster will remain one of the classiest and highly-regarded Mercedes of all time!
What do you think of this magnificent Mercedes?
