It needed a lot of mechanical work but it was a very rare old Benz with 742 built from 1936 to 41. I found later it was built in the Sindelfingen Plant along with all the very low number production cars including the 500s. This was the custom in-house shop of Daimler Benz.
Wow, what a find! You are so lucky!!
