UNBELIEVABLE -ANCIENT CAR KEPT FOR OVER 3 DECADES NOW WORTH £1.8MILLION

for an unbelievable £1.5million.
Supercar set to sell for £1.8million
MOTOR is one of only 31 road-legal versions
of the Ford GT40
Able to reach 100mph, the S-Type Mercedes
Benz was among the world's fastest when it
came off the production line in 1928.
And this model still runs perfectly, despite
having last been used in the the 1950s.
Now the motor is set to go under the hammer
at Bonhams’ Goodwood Revival sale on
September 15.
Automotive expert, Rupert Banner, said: “At a
time when motor cars in original condition
and with impeccable provenance are
appreciated more than ever, this one-owner
car offers an unrepeatable opportunity for
collectors.
“It has literally been off the radar. No one
knew such an untouched and archaic this old
existed. It is an incredible find.”
The unidentified owner's grandfather was one
of the earliest buyers of the car, purchasing it
from The British Mercedes Ltd in London.
A spokesman for Bonhams said: “This newly
discovered 1928 Mercedes-Benz S-Type
Sports Tourer is almost without precedent.
“Motor cars of this type and age have rarely
been in the same family ownership from new.
“It is expected to sell for more than £1.5m.”
