The times they are a-changing. Presented with great pride in the immense (editors guess 15,000 m2) MB-stand at the Essen Techno Classica is not a better than new restored Gullwing. Not even a possible candidate for the Pebble Beach 'Preservation Class'. What we see is a well used 1936 W29 500 K(ompressor). The 5 litre (thank you for the correction Al...!) engine should produce 160 HP with compressor and should enable the top class cabriolet to achieve a top speed of 160 km/hour (100 mph). This we didn't look up, it is stated at the presentation standard with the car (see tech. specs. ).

But most important aspect, it looks like 'Das Haus' has added a new and highly appreciated ingredient to their marketing mix: humour
