1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K Tourer

Just 342 examples of the Mercedes-Benz 500K were built from 1934 to 1936 before the model was superseded by the mighty 540K. Most 500Ks were bodied by the factory, but this unique example was fitted with open touring coachwork by the Mayfair Carriage Company in London. Although Mayfair is not well known today, it was responsible for creating some of the most luxurious and impressive bodies on cars in the 1930s. This 500K was ordered by Sir Everard Scarisbrick. It was originally finished in British Racing Green to complement the car's typically British coachwork. His Lordship died in 1955, and by the early 1960s the car had made its way into the hands of Arnold Dubb of Albany, New York. When it returned to the United Kingdom, it had bright red paint with a rather garish 'grapefruit pink' interior. Don Williams eventually brought the car back to the United States, and it was restored in 1998.
