1933 Mercedes 200 Sunshine Limousine Sedan Black /Varied I have owned this beauty since 1967, and now, I regret, I have to find a new home for her. She was in working order until 2004, but is now in need of much TLC. The engine has been rebuilt, but never run. The brakes and tires are new. The top used to be a canvas roll-top roof, but was closed over with a metal roof. The photo shows her when she was in running condition - not so pretty these days. I have the owner's manual (in English) and a complete parts list (in German). Please help - I do not want to relegate her to the junk pile. Please contact me; I'll be happy to tell you all I know.
