Michael Fröhlich, a German dealer in classic cars, sold 600 Mercedes, Rolls Royce and Bentley Marlene Dietrich Convertible S3 Charlie Chaplin John Lennon in his time, but just arranged his most unusual deal yet - an armored limousine five tonnes, he said, was used by Adolf Hitler.
Fröhlich, 59, told SPIEGEL ONLINE that he managed to trace the car to a collector in the north of Germany on behalf of a Russian investor willing to pay millions of euros for the open-top vehicle, a those supposed to be conveyed by the Führer adoring crowd before and during the Second World war.
The delivered in 1935 Mercedes 770A blue-black Kompressor has changed hands several times in recent years, it is sold with five other vehicles of the same rare model, including four owned by top Nazis including Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop the other belonged to a former President of Turkey, Ismet Inonu.
The Russian buyer is unnamed buys everything for a double-digit million euro sum, Fröhlich said that I was of two minds about the track car that shit Hitler Most of my relatives died in the war and I was saved by the Americans in the Berlin airlift, they provided penicillin I needed because I was suffering from tuberculosis, he said the vehicle disgusts me, I must say.
The limo Hitler alone is estimated at between 4 million and 10 million 6-15 million, according to a media report.
The previous owners all died, it's like the curse of the Pharaohs, Fröhlich said after the war, the limo was bought by the owner of the hotel Imperial Palace in Las Vegas and took first place in his personal collection after his death, he went to a Bavarian collector, who died last year at age 49, said Fröhlich.
Les six cars now sold ended up in the collection of a car fan in northern Germany, it is still alive.
I arrived there a call of two months to a Russian investor who discovered that the car was no longer in the Imperial Palace collection, said Fröhlich So I spent weeks digging around and found on Saturday, the buyer flew right away I brought him and the collecting together the deal has not been finalized.
Fröhlich said he had seen the original documents to the limousine, including the newspaper says he was handed over to the Reich Chancellor and the Führer in 1935 and he broke down again in 1939 with a engine problem.
There are slight signs of wear, but still in very good condition and can be driven, said Fröhlich He was the upscale Mercedes at the time.
The car has a thick armor of 18 mm, 40 mm bulletproof glass and a 400 horsepower engine capable of reaching a speed of 180 kilometers per hour, it is my most unusual deal ever, by far, says Fröhlich, who was tradling in historic cars for 30 years.
He said he had studied vintage photos showing Hitler in various vehicles and detected a car with the same license plate 1A 148,461.
License plates can, of course, to forge Josef Ernst, the spokesman of the Ministry of Heritage Daimler, the company that manufactures Mercedes vehicles, told SPIEGEL ONLINE We do not know if this vehicle is genuine, it would look first, the assumption that it is authentic, it must be added that there is no single car that can only be called the vehicle Adolf Hitler it had a range of official cars, all controlled by the Reich Chancellery rather than him personally.
Ernst said he did not know how many Mercedes vehicles delivered to the Reich Chancellery, he said the company has built a total of 88 vehicles in the range 770 Kompressor between 1938 and 1943.
As far as I know that Hitler had no driver's license and drove himself, said Ernst He had three Senders.
Roy Spencer, a dealer in California in the classic Mercedes cars, told SPIEGEL ONLINE They're fabulous cars The 770 was the pinnacle of car design late thirties Opulence and with everything on a large scale, they have value and following in them -Same.
Hitler and the Third Reich connection can be a mixed blessing for cars I would say it would exclude a large percentage of potential collectors who have an intrinsic interest in an important step, unique, special-bodied, low output 770.
He said that although the 770 was a rare car, a normal value less than 1 million, probably around 500,000 to 750,000.
Meanwhile, Fröhlich seems relieved that his mission is over and he can devote his attention to cars with more happy stories like his own private collection of 50 vehicles, including a tank, all built in 1950, the when he was born.
They are like brothers, says Fröhlich, driving around his hometown of Düsseldorf in a Rolls Royce charred that got incinerated when his shop burned there four years.
