Vehicle Description
1934 MERCEDES BENZ 380 SPEZIAL ROADSTER COLLECTORS TAKE NOTE: This
factory example of the exquisitely proportioned MB 380 Spezial
Roadster LH (Lang Heck, denoting 'long tail' i.e., with rumble
seat) is finished inTHREE coats of hand-rubbed Glasurit Chiffon
White with lipstick red leather interior. Designed and engineered
by internationally acclaimed H.T.Price, and built at the ACAC
factory in 1980, it is extremely rare and highly sought after, and
generally considered to be the most beautiful of the neo classics.
Engine displacement is 3.8 litres with dual exhausts. Its equipped
with power: windows, brakes, steering and antenna, Kenwood
stereo/with cassette, ice-cold a/c, (converted to 134) tilt wheel,
automatic, cruise control, special suspension etc., twin spotlights
w/attached rear view mirrors, nearly $3,000.00 in real 'laced' wire
wheels,etc., etc., and has rolled less than 28,000 miles from new,
and just 4,000 miles since a no-expense-spared restoration by Rob
Weger, a local Mercedes expert. Only 50 of these elegant motorcars
were built, and only a hand full remained in the states, as most
were purchased by royalty in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, etc.,
as they are always the first to invest in exclusive autos. It has
been in two movies, three 'Gatsby' styled weddings (see pics) and
four tv commercials, and was featured in the inaugural issue of
'Wheels of Thunder ' autographed by Ted Barret: first place winner,
neo classics, at the Myrtle Beach 'Run to the Sun' car show('97) It
needs nothing. (cruise control is a bit quirky) Exterior trim is
all stainless steel, or marine grade triple plated chrome. It is
gorgeous throughout, and guaranteed to draw onlookers in every
parking lot, and strangers on the highway gawking and yelling
questions. Strange (and often beautiful) women will ask to have
their picture taken beside it (or in it, or on it) When you drive
this 380SR, every traffic light or parking lot is an adventure. In
near flawless condition.
