To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019. Estimate: €50,000 - €80,000 Delivered new to Portugal One of just 45 built for the final year of production Stately black-over-grey colour combination Retains its original engine Often referred to as the 'Adenauer Mercedes' after its most prominent customer, German chancellor Konrad Adenauer, the 300 was not only a significant technical achievement, but also an important milestone in the rebuilding of the Daimler-Benz company. Introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1951, the stately Type 300 was the first Mercedes-Benz model aimed squarely at the North American market, and it was not surprising that the 300 showed American influence in a number of areas�most notably in its hardtop roofline. Overall production ceased in March 1962, making it the last of the separate chassis Mercedes-Benzes to be built. In total, just 3,077 300 d's were built from 1957 to 1962, including just 45 in 1962. Photocopies of its original Portuguese registration show that this car was delivered new to Portugal in 1962 and still retains its original engine. Finished in black over a grey interior, this 300 d is both charming and stately. Matriculado novo em Portugal Um da apenas 45 constru�dos no �ltimo ano de produ��o Combina��o de cores imponente de preto sobre cinza Mant�m o motor original Muitas vezes referido como o "Mercedes Adenauer", em homenagem ao seu mais proeminente cliente, o chanceler alem�o Konrad Adenauer, o 300 n�o foi apenas uma conquista t�cnica significativa, mas tamb�m um marco importante na reconstru��o da empresa Daimler-Benz. Introduzido no Sal�o Autom�vel de Frankfurt em setembro de 1951, o imponente 300 foi o primeiro modelo da Mercedes-Benz dirigido diretamente ao mercado norte-americano, e n�o foi surpresa que os 300 mostrassem influ�ncia americana em v�rias �reas � mais concretamente na linha do tejadilho. A produ��o cessou em mar�o de 1962, tornando-o o �ltimo Mercedes-Benz de chassis separado a ser constru�do. No total, apenas 3.077 300 d foram constru�dos de 1957 a 1962, inclu�ndo apenas 45 em 1962. Fotoc�pias do seu registo original em Portugal mostram que este autom�vel foi matriculado novo naquele pa�s em 1962 e ainda mant�m o seu motor original. Terminado em preto sobre um interior cinza, este 300 d � elegante e imponente.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pg19 .
