Description

One of 32 “Sport” Cabriolet As

 

Matching Numbers

 

Former owner: Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands

 

In 1936, the 500 K model was replaced by the 540 K, which delivered even more power and elasticity with its 5.4-liter displacement (180 hp with supercharger).

 

While the standard 540 K Cabriolet A features side-mounted spare wheels and has the radiator in its normal position on the front axle, Daimler-Benz also built a special model, the 540 K Sport Cabriolet A, with an elongated, particularly elegant body, in which the radiator was set back 16 cm behind the front axle and the spare wheels were mounted at the rear. Only 32 examples of this attractive 540 K Sport Cabriolet A model were built in total.

 

Our vehicle was delivered new to Stahlwerk GmbH Düsseldorf and was later owned for many years by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. Extensive restoration work was carried out some time ago by Daimler-Benz in Germany.
