"A very well-maintained Mercedes in good condition, which hasn't been driven for over 20 years, will require a thorough service and inspection of brakes and other components before it is roadworthy."

Description

This car has never been in particularly poor condition and has been kept in good shape throughout its life. It was painted in its original color about 40 years ago and still looks great, albeit with a few minor imperfections.

The Mercedes was then stored away in a moisture-free garage for about 20 years and hasn't been driven since. The owner now believes it's time for a Mercedes enthusiast to take over the care of the car and ensure that it gets back on the road again.

Facts about the model

When the W143 was released on the market in 1936, it was initially manufactured with a slightly shorter wheelbase. However, it soon came with a more modern body and a longer wheelbase. The engine, though, remained the same six-cylinder 2.2-liter engine also found in the W21, but with a four-speed fully synchronized gearbox.

The Mercedes-Benz 230 was available in various body styles, including two- and four-door limousines, cabriolets, and roadsters. The 230 was a highly popular vehicle for Mercedes-Benz, with over 20,000 units produced between 1937 and 1941.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
