Märklin 8003
Märklin 8003 Mercedes 300 'ADENAUER' issue. Deep red issue. Very near mint/boxed. Another very scarce model from The Berlin Collection.
Notes
The official car of Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In office from 1949 to 1963, he employed six custom convertible, hardtop, and landaulet versions during his tenure.
This deep red issue has a most pleasing lustre, with a shining silver trim, untarnished spun wheels and supple original tyres.
Scratch-free tinplate base has minor marking.
A little marking to the bumpers and a dot or two to the paint finish.
Fresh, crisp and vibrant box is complete and tear-free. Minor age wear only.
A difficult model to find in any condition, and especially with its box.
