Description

This 1938 Mercedes-Benz 170 (230 OT W143) is presented in fully restored and excellent condition after a complete and careful renovation.

The car has recently passed a full technical inspection, and everything operates correctly.

The exterior presents beautifully in a classic blue/ black combination, with clean lines and excellent shine. The interior features high-quality beige leather, restored to a period-correct look and feel. All gauges, switches, and controls are functional.

Mechanically, the car runs smoothly: the engine starts reliably, idles evenly, and the manual gearbox shifts properly. Steering, brakes, and suspension feel tight and well maintained. There are no known faults, no rust issues, and no immediate work required.

A rare pre-war cabriolet in turn-key condition, suitable for show, weekend use, or collectors seeking an elegant and historically important Mercedes model. What makes this classic truly special is its elegance, rarity, and the unmistakable charm of pre-war Mercedes craftsmanship. The proportions, details, and driving character offer an experience that modern cars can’t replicate.

It is a car that attracts attention anywhere it appears — from classic car shows to quiet countryside drives. The combination of a restored leather interior, beautifully finished exterior, and smooth-running engine makes it a joy to own.

Collectors will appreciate its originality, the quality of the restoration, and the fact that it is fully ready to enjoy without further investment. If you’re seeking a distinguished, stylish, and impeccably restored pre-war Mercedes, this cabriolet is an exceptional choice.
