Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This is a right-hand drive, fibreglass-bodied evocation of a 1930s Mercedes-Benz 500K Spezial Roadster, powered by a Chevy 5.7-litre V8 engine and automatic transmission, built on a substantial steel chassis with Chevrolet Camaro running gear. Offered for sale due to health reasons by its owner since 2019, the car comes with a MOT until October 2026 and includes a cherished registration number, though the V5C transfer is pending.

The description does not provide enough detail about the car's condition to give a precise rating.

It is rated as 'Very Good' (7) based on the assumption of general good running order and maintenance typical for a car in this age range and ownership duration, with the caveat that cosmetic condition is not detailed.
