Horch 853A Roadster 1939 Erdmann & Rossi

Product no.: IL43123 Notify on availability

About 10 - 15% of the chassis of the 853 and 853 A (8 cylinders) were fitted with custom bodies. In particular, Erdmann & Rossi was involved in the production of sensational roadster bodies.

 

However, the price of a chassis provided with such an exclusive roadster body then also corresponded to the corresponding model 540 K from Mercedes-Benz but was technically clearly inferior without a compressor. Also this model (chassis No. 854275, engine No. 852006, commission No. 3164) - one of three surviving cars - received its body from the Berlin coachbuilder Erdmann & Rossi and won the 2004 "Best of Show" at the Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach and was auctioned off in 2012 at the RM-Sotheby's auction for USD $ 5,170,000.
