A unique lot for collectors has appeared in the Russian capital — a rare 1927 Mercedes-Benz 630K. The museum piece with a mileage of only 3,009 kilometers is offered for 130 million rubles.
The 630K model ("Kurtz" — "short" in German) became iconic for the brand's history. Thanks to the shortened wheelbase, the car was maneuverable, and the supercharged inline 6.2-liter engine produced 178 horsepower. The maximum speed reached 145 km/h — an incredible figure for the late 1920s.
This model brought Mercedes-Benz over a hundred victories in races around the world and became one of the first "racing cars for public roads." Each instance is unique: in those years, the concern only produced chassis, and bodies were created in third-party ateliers.
The car presented in Moscow has been restored to Note 1 condition — close to new. All components and parts are genuine, as confirmed by an expert report.
Today, the Mercedes-Benz 630K is perceived not only as an artifact of automotive history but also as a symbol of aristocratic luxury and the sporting spirit of the early 20th century.
