A 1953 MERCEDES BENZ 'ADENAUER' 300
burgundy exterior, white interior, four door saloon, restored

R 1 500 000 - R 1 700 000

The Mercedes-Benz W186 model 300 was a four-door luxury tourer produced by Mercedes-Benz between 1951 and 1957.
It was the company's largest and most prestigious automobile, sometimes referred to as a "Type 300", the W186 was
equal in features and price but superior in performance to the rival Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and shared numerous design
innovations and mechanical components with the iconic Mercedes-Benz 300 SL "Gullwing", including engine, suspension,
and chassis.

All but hand-built as the company flagship, the W186 is often identified as an Adenauer after Konrad Adenauer, the first
Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, who employed six custom cabriolet, hardtop saloon, and landaulet versions
of the W186 and its successor W189 during his 1949 – 1963 tenure. Among the custom features in these "parade cars" were
writing desks, sirens, curtains, dividing partitions, sunroofs, and half-roof "landaulet" configurations.
