Mercedes-Benz A 320 - W 142 an Exotic Rare Car

Picture below is Mercedes-Benz A 320 - W 142, with a 3.4 litre 6 cylinder side valve engine fitted in its engine compartment. This exotic car was made by the Daimler-Benz company some time in 1948 and then was sold to a businessman in Indonesia and was later resold to an individual in Australia in the eighties.

The car was actually a prototype model of a luxury coupe and was not put into production because of Germany's involvement in World War II, which has led to the devastation of the company’s factories and other industrial facilities in the country.

This rare, exotic car sold for a whopping $350,000 AUD or about $275,000 USD at the end of the 2007 Melbourne International Motor Show auction event.via & via
