AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and extremely rare 1/16-scale miniature of the Mercedes W196 'Silver Arrow' 1955
Between the late 80s and early 90s, Märklin redid the 1960s miniature by creating it.
Signature in a very limited edition to the pilots who had been part of the victorious Mercedes team: Fangio, Moss, Kling and Hermann. Now, unfortunately, all of those pilots have passed away, but as a memory the signed models from that occasion remain. This model up for auction bears Karl Kling's autograph, with the corresponding certificate of authenticity. The movement is spring-driven and is complete with the winding key. Comes from my personal collection.
NB: The shadows you see on the bodywork are not stains but reflections of light.
