car description

Discover the timeless elegance and incomparable charm of the Mercedes-Benz 500k Cabriolet B from 1936. This rare Cabriolet B with the coveted “matching numbers” is history on wheels.

With a fascinating provenance dating back to its delivery on February 13, 1936 to the Brenninkmeyer family (C&A) in the Netherlands, there is a rich history to this vehicle,

which has been passed down from generation to generation. From the second owner in Great Britain in 1938, to the third owner in 1967, to the second last owner, who had the car in his possession for over 50 years. The fifth and last owner acquired the car in 2016. After a partial restoration in 2006, the car was completed by the last owner from 2016 to 2017, using only the best materials and specialists.

Technically completed to perfection by Wagner Landshut, with fabrics by Steenbuck and a pristine paint job by Janssen GmbH, this Mercedes-Benz 500k Cabriolet B shines in all its glory today. The vehicle is a timeless classic which, with a low production of 275 is a real collector's rarity.

History of the series

A 500K W29 was an impressive automobile produced by the German brand Mercedes-Benz in the 1930s. This luxury vehicle was known for its elegant appearance, powerful engine and high level of comfort.

The 500K W29 was first presented at the Berlin Motor Show in 1934 and immediately attracted a lot of attention. With a 5-liter eight-cylinder supercharged engine, the vehicle could reach a top speed of over 160 km/h, which was impressive for the time.

The body of the 500K W29 was designed and manufactured by renowned coachbuilders such as Sindelfingen, Erdmann & Rossi and Saoutchik. Each vehicle was unique and reflected the individual taste and style of the owner.

Despite its high quality and luxurious design, the 500K W29 was reserved for a small, wealthy clientele due to the economic difficulties of the time. Today, well-preserved examples of the 500K W29 are extremely rare and coveted collector's items, offering a glimpse into the automotive elegance and exclusivity of the 1930s.
