Factory records indicate that some 419 examples of the 540K were produced between 1936 and 1939. Only 32 of this particular Sports Cabriolet A version were produced, and only 12 are known to survive. This example's bodywork left the Sindelfingen factory on April 9th of 1937. On the same day that the body was completed, it was transported to the assembly area at Unterturkheim where it was joined to the chassis. Some of the features of this car are inherent to the 540K Special Roadster, including the radiator mounted behind the front axle, extremely long fenders and the twin spare wheels mounted at the rear. These two body styles are the most sought-after of all the factory coachwork. They were among the ultimate cars that money could buy in the late 1930s. This car reigns as the fastest production road car of its era and the last supercharged model the company built until the modern era.Also photographed at :     | Site Map | Contact | About Us | Terms Of Use / Privacy Policy | Links | carAuctionValues |
