AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
The 1935 Mercedes-Benz Type 200 (W21) represents the brand’s technical excellence in the prewar era, standing out for its 6-cylinder inline engine of 1,962 cc that delivers balanced and refined driving. This model was pioneering in comfort by incorporating a four-wheel independent suspension with rear swing axle, an innovation that set the luxury standard of the time. The four-door Limousine configuration on a short wheelbase provides a stately silhouette that is highly valued internationally. It is essential to note that this unit maintains its historical authenticity by preserving the original 6V electrical system and certifying matching numbers (Matching Numbers) according to factory records in Stuttgart. It is a national vehicle with an original Spanish license plate from the era. It is not registered as historic, maintaining its ordinary administrative status. This car has an exceptional history: it originally belonged to a family, was sold 50 years ago to a private collection, and, after decades of searching, was recovered in 2020. After its discovery, a complete restoration from scratch was started to return it to its original glory. All technical and origin documentation will be shared with the winning bidder.
CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA:
The bodywork is the result of exhaustive work, following the standard of a “nut and bolt” restoration. It was completely dismantled, every imperfection was repaired, and any trace of rust was eliminated. After preparation and a high-quality primer layer, two coats of paint were applied in an elegant black/gray combination. The tone was chosen based on Mercedes-Benz’s RAL color range, after a direct consultation with the Mercedes classic vehicles department in Stuttgart. Although the factory verified the matching of the engine and chassis numbers, there was no record of the original color code, so this refined current combination was chosen.
MECÁNICA:
After remaining inactive since 1976, the mechanical section has been completely rebuilt. The engine has been machined in its entirety; although it started after its long hibernation, a full machining was performed to guarantee total reliability. The original gearbox was dismantled for technical cleaning and inspection, confirming its perfect functioning. The radiator has been serviced and welded to remove leaks, and the exhaust system has been replaced with a new one due to deterioration of the original. The original 6V electrical installation has been maintained, adding a battery disconnect switch for safety, and the battery is new. The suspension and springs have been inspected; it has new tubed tires, and the horn, wipers, and lighting system are fully operational. It has passed the ITV (vehicle inspection) successfully.
INTERIOR:
The cabin has been completely renewed with high-quality materials, meticulously respecting the period aesthetics. A full new upholstery has been done, including seats, door panels, and headlining. The original elements with patina, such as the handles and the original gauges, have been preserved and restored with care, maintaining the vehicle’s essence and unique character.
DOCUMENTACIÓN:
The administrative rehabilitation process has been as meticulous as the mechanical restoration. Since there are no current records in Tráfico, a reduced technical data sheet was prepared by an engineer and it successfully passed the technical inspection to obtain a modern technical sheet. The vehicle has been rehabilitated while maintaining its original license plate. According to current DGT regulations for vehicles over 30 years old, the car no longer requires periodic inspections, although constant preventative maintenance is recommended.
RECOGIDA:
To ensure maximum safety in delivery and due to the vehicle’s exclusivity, shipments are not made. The buyer must personally collect the vehicle at the seller’s address. This also allows a final joint inspection before the transfer of ownership.
OTRA INFORMACIÓN:
This is not just a restored car; it is a piece of family heritage that has been recovered and tuned up without sparing expenses. The matching numbers verification by Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart confirms its value as a first-rate investment and collectible piece.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
