KEY FACTS This Mercedes-Benz 300 “Adenauer” is an elegant post-war flagship luxury saloon, restored in the late 1980s and retaining period charm throughout.

It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre straight-six, delivering around 115PS to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

This example is understood to have originally been a US-delivered model, which was first registered in July 1953, and has since been imported back to Germany, where it has been with the seller and reportedly its second German owner for nine years.

The odometer indicates 35,597 km, though this is not warranted.
