Information
Coachwork by Mayfair
Mercedes-Benz chassis records indicate that this car was shipped on October 7th, 1936 to the factory store in Paris France – an unusual destination for a RHD chassis, particularly one that would later receive an English body. Historians have speculated that the car’s origins in Paris may account for this, as it may have been ordered by a British expatriate living in Paris, and then later shipped to London for the body to be constructed. According to another source, the original commission was for an Indian Majarajah, which would also explain the RHD chassis.
Car was nearly destroyed by fire in 1960, over the next 20 years the cars was restored and had a new body built for it
