In 1932, Mercedes hired Hermann Ahrens to lead the Sindelfingen custom body division. The Ahrens studio produced some of Europe's most beautiful and exotic roadsters including the Mercedes 380 K, 500 K and 540 K Roadsters. The 170 V roadsters carry unique sheet metal. The work is recognizable as an Ahrens because of features such as the extended hood, sweeping running board design and fully disappearing top. In addition, there are advanced engineering features such as a lightweight four cylinder engine producing 38 horsepower, a X-frame made from oval tubing and suspension using double transverse front leaf springs, swing axles and coil springs on the rear and hydraulic shock absorbers. There are only 13 170 V Roadsters known to exist.
This car has been in the current owner's family since 1974 and underwent a four year restoration.
