1937 Mercedes Benz 540 K Cabriolet A RHD
Testament to the quality of the brand over other automobiles in the 1930s era, even as the decade progressed the unapproachable supercharged Mercedes-Benz remained extremely popular with their well-established British clientele. Numerous examples were delivered to the UK including this car. Ordered under commission number 236582, Mercedes fulfilled the requirement of Mr. Embiricos. As new, Mr. Embiricos received the very latest version of the two seater cabriolet bodywork that Mercedes now offered, which was stunningly beautiful and distinctive from its predecessor in being more aerodynamic and low slung. The full effect is created by careful revisions to the theme, with the radiator set a full 6 inches behind the centre line of the front wheels, a super low windshield and top, and its lines unblemished by spares, a single extra wheel placed on the swept back tail. According to the definitive work on these cars by Jan Melin, Mr. Embiricos would have been one of only 32 individuals to have received this version of coachwork.
