Descrição
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely stunning and exceptional example of this unique and rare 1 of 1 full-scale built 1936 Mercedes 540K Special Roadster Replica in 'Silver' exterior paint with 'Red' leather interior and a black soft top with only some 821 miles on the build!
A well known and well reported labor of love in the Mercedes enthusiast community, and in the press, and a car eventually built over a 10 year period by a true enthusiast and a project well over 20 years in the making by a former aircraft mechanic and well known builder and restorer of rods and customs for over 50 years. It should be noted that this is no ordinary replica, car enthusiasts can buy kit parts and plans to build a replica of most vintage classic cars and that's why there is a plethora of such replicas available. This gentleman's endeavor was significantly more painstaking with nothing in common with any kit car available on the market today. This is a one off labor of love to build not just a replica, but an exact replica, of the antique and legendary German car from scratch with a combination of both original parts and equipment, and new parts and equipment, but with all the dimensions, colors, specs etc built to match the original car. And so with templates from the original car it was built to an exact original scale and style all the way down to the ash tray in the dashboard! A couple of other 540K kit cars have been built on a smaller scale but none to date have been built to full scale using many original parts and from templates from the original like this example.
