£3.967 million .... SOLD!

5th November, 2007

The highlight of a recent auction in London was undoubtedly a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Spezial Roadster (see image), which was raised 15 feet in the air to dramatic music, and finally coming to rest above the auctioneer. Following a fierce round of bidding in a room stunned into absolute silence, the bidding stopped at a staggering £3.967 million.

Next to the 540K Spezial Roadster, another Mercedes-Benz classic, this time an SSK comfortably broke the magic million achieving £1.2 million when auctioneer Peter Bainbridge called the magic words “for the first time, for the second time, sold!”
