1930 Mercedes-Benz 710 SS Special Roadster

Daimler-Benz mounted this 710 SS with special one-off coachwork and retained it for the first five years of its life, from 1930 to 1935. During that time, it was exhibited in 1933 at the Baden-Baden Concours d'Elegance, the most prestigious German event of the era, and won Das Goldene Band (Golden Ribbon), a testament to its design. After its sale by the factory through a German dealer, the car was kept by one owner until 1952, then bought by Eugene de Camp of Arizona, a connoisseur of unique coachbuilt supercharged Mercedes-Benz automobiles, who enjoyed it for 25 years.

In 1985 it was bought by the renowned enthusiast Dr. Fred Simeone and was kept for many years in his marvelous Philadelphia collection, alongside many other significant sporting automobiles. It was purchased by the Auriga Collection from Dr. Simeone in 2003. It has never been publicly displayed (before its showing at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2023) since a restoration was performed under the current ownership.
