"A car in excellent working order that has been upgraded with a more powerful engine and transmission. This makes it ideal for long-distance cruising."

Description

This car has had a few owners and a fascinating history. The first owner was a Helsingborg shipbroker. The current owner's family purchased the car in the early 1980s from previous owner Erwin Dommann, who purchased it in the late 1960s. The Erwin worked for Philipsons, a Swedish general agent and Mercedes-Benz.  He was the head of education in Sweden, among other things. He is the one who made the tasteful modifications, such as installing an engine from the sporty sibling 230 SL, also known as the Pagoda. We suspect that much of the rest of the driveline is sourced from the same car, as the gearshift has been relocated from the steering column to the floor. Two additional air intakes are occupied in the front to provide better cooling for the more powerful machine. Front disc brakes are standard on the car. A towbar with a capacity of 1200 kg is also installed. . We don't know if the entire rear axle was replaced?

  • 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.
