I was recently offered a strange car more or less. It is a very rare pre-production vehicle, which was built for homologation and was fitted with the 230GE engine No. 10. Actually, Mercedes never gave pre-production vehicles into the market at that time as today. Most of them were dismantled or even destroyed after the various tests and acceptances. However, this convertible could be a Mercedes employee from the strategic area due to The car has been in his possession since 1990 and has always been registered. Mercedes had driven around 1100km himself to the car in the course of the tests. The owner has only driven 15,000km on the car in the last 25 years! “Everyone” km is documented, of course checkbook maintained. The car is in a correspondingly unusually good condition. I like the car very much, but I can’t judge what such a thing is like. I felt a bit pre-feeling and got the impression that you are talking about orders of magnitude in the direction of 60,000€, which I find too much. Can that be, or is there someone crazy???? Is there others here who have the experiences with pre-production vehicles and can tell me what? How expensive can a 230er be, even if it is good. I am very happy about serious comments. That this is a lot of money, is also clear to me, so please no P olemik here in the forum. It’s definitely a collector’s car that you can’t compare to the usual market. So I’m looking for the comparison to the exotics. Thank you! Greetings from Stern to Stern, Rolf Brettschneider
