The Mercedes-Benz type 230 W143 was introduced in 1937. It was produced until 1941, with a total of 20,336 units manufactured.
This model was the successor to the Mercedes-Benz 230 W21, from which it inherited the frame. The body of the new 230 is wider and longer than its predecessor, although the first prototypes were built on the shorter wheelbase chassis of the previous model.
Only from 1938 onwards did versions with a long wheelbase appear. Generally, the 230 W143 was available in several body styles: from classic limousine to sedan, from sporty roadster to two types of convertibles. In its time, it was one of the flagship models of Mercedes-Benz production.
The Mercedes-Benz 230 was powered by a 2.3-liter engine delivering 55 hp, capable of propelling the vehicle to speeds exceeding 116 km/h. In the roadster body version, the same engine was slightly modified, increasing its maximum power to 58 hp and the top speed to 122 km/h.
The car from our collection is a Cabrio “B” model, fully renovated and in very good condition.
