Historically, the 170V was first displayed by Mercedes Benz at the 1936 Berlin Motor Show and enjoyed a production from 1935 to 1941.
It exceeded that of any other pre-war car and provided the basis for the resumption of Mercedes car production following World War II. The Pre-War 170V was produced in several models, a Cabrio-Limo, Cabriolet A and B models, and a very rare Roadster. The 170V continued in 1947, with the 170D and S models being produced, until the introduction of the 170S in 1949.
Manufactured in 1938, this 170V Cabriolet was purchased by the vendor in July 1960, meaning that it has been in the same ownership for the past 50 years. The owner spent the majority of his life working as a car mechanic, and between the years of 1960 and 1989 spent much of his spare time using his skills to rest
