This 1940 Mercedes-Benz 170 V Cabriolet B is a used car showing 42 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Grey and Burgundy with a Beige interior.
Mercedes-Benz in Sofia, Bulgaria, delivered it new on 31 July 1940. A respected German craftsman later restored it with the body off the frame, and Dutch marque specialists have refined it further over recent years.
Its original books and papers are all present, a rare thing for a pre-war 170 V. Its travels have been mostly European, with a few Middle Eastern chapters. The seller rates it outstanding and flawlessly finished. The Cabriolet B, the larger of the open 170 V bodies, is a cabriolet-saloon, and far fewer were built than closed cars.
The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.
The Mercedes-Benz 170 V uses the 1,697 cc M136 side-valve four-cylinder, rated at 38 PS (28 kW) at 3,400 rpm and 100 Nm, for a top speed of 108 km/h, with a four-speed manual gearbox, synchronised only on the top two ratios until 1940, and rear-wheel drive.
