AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Integral Restoration "Nut & Bolt" and Family Heritage
GENERAL:
The 1935 Mercedes-Benz Type 200 (W21) represents the brand’s technical excellence in the prewar era, distinguished by its 6-cylinder in-line 1,962 cc engine that offers balanced and refined driving. This model was pioneering in comfort by incorporating an independent suspension system on all four wheels with rear swinging axles, an innovation that set the luxury standard of the time. The four-door Limousine configuration on a short wheelbase chassis provides a stately silhouette highly valued internationally. It is essential to note that this unit preserves its historical authenticity by retaining 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 era plate that is not registered as historic, maintaining its ordinary administrative status. This car has an exceptional history: originally owned by the family, sold 50 years ago to a private collection, and after decades of searching, recovered in 2020 to commence a complete restoration from scratch.
BODYWORK AND PAINTING:
The bodywork has been exhaustive, following the standard of a nut and bolt restoration where the vehicle was fully dismantled to restore every imperfection and eliminate any trace of rust. After preparation and a high-quality primer coat, two layers of paint were applied in an elegant black/gray combination. The shade was chosen based on Mercedes-Benz’s color range after a direct consultation with the classic cars department in Stuttgart. Although the factory verified the matching numbers, there was no record of the original color code, so this refined current chromatic combination was chosen.
MECHANICS:
After being inactive since 1976, the mechanical section has been completely rebuilt. The engine has been machined in its entirety to guarantee total reliability, even though the unit started after its long dormancy. The original gearbox was dismantled for technical cleaning and inspection, confirming its perfect operation. The cooling system features a revised radiator soldered to eliminate leaks, while the exhaust system has been replaced with a new one. In the electrical department, the original 6V installation has been maintained, adding a new battery and a safety disconnect. The assembly is completed with new tubed tires, refreshed suspension and springs, and proper operation of the horn, wipers, and lighting system, having satisfactorily passed the technical inspection.
INTERIOR:
The cabin has been rebuilt entirely with high-quality materials, scrupulously respecting the era’s aesthetics. A full new upholstery has been carried out, including seats, door panels, and headlining. At the same time, the original elements with patina, such as handles and original gauges, have been carefully preserved and restored, achieving a balance that maintains the car’s essence and unique character.
DOCUMENTATION:
The administrative rehabilitation process has been as meticulous as the mechanical restoration. Since there are no current records with the traffic authority, an engineer prepared a reduced technical sheet and the car passed the technical inspection to obtain a modern technical sheet, achieving rehabilitation of the vehicle while keeping its original license plate. According to the current DGT regulations for vehicles over 30 years old, the car no longer requires periodic inspections, although constant preventive maintenance is recommended. All technical and origin documentation will be shared with the winning bidder.
COLLECTION:
To ensure maximum security at delivery and due to the vehicle’s exclusivity, shipping is not offered. The buyer must personally collect the vehicle at the seller’s address in Pineda de Mar, Barcelona (Catalonia), Spain. This arrangement allows a final joint inspection before the formal transfer of ownership.
OTHER INFORMATION:
This is not just a restored car; it is a family heritage piece recovered and polished without sparing expenses. The matching-number verification by Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart confirms its value as a prime investment and collectible. All the dedication poured into this project guarantees that the new owner will acquire a car with soul, history, and impeccable technical execution.

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. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. 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. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
