1931 Mercedes-Benz SSK Sport II 38/250 Roadster

This 1931 Mercedes-Benz 38/250 SSK is one of very few SSK motorcars with its original drivetrain and bodywork. Never restored, but always maintained and preserved to the highest possible standard, it remains one of the world's premier ambassadors for the marque and the model. Mercedes-Benz built 31 Model 38/250 SSK cars between 1929 and 1931.

This short-wheelbase example was specifically created with competition in mind, and the state-of-the-art chassis, designed by Ferdinand Porsche, was constructed to partner with the 7,069cc inline six-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine. By way of a Root supercharger, the SSK could produce 250 horsepower and had a top speed of 100 mph.

Chassis 36046 was completed on January 14, 1931, and was bodied by the Mercedes factory in sporting roadster coachwork with creme paint over cognac leather. Delivered new in February 1931 to Mr. Roy Lewis of Great Britain. It would change hands several times, with its ownership continuously traced through the war years, including time with well-known British trader and early Mercedes-Benz historian 'Bunty' Scott-Moncrieff. In 1954, it was bought by Lord O'Neill of Antrim, who would keep it for 21 years. The Majzub family, noted collectors and sports car connoisseurs, would quietly retain the car for a further three decades. It has always been appreciated and maintained and has survived the decades intact; it remains in mostly original condition, is being carefully conserved, and is very much appreciated by its current steward.
