What is the SN of the copy? Does anyone now which shop in Germany restored the original and created the copy?
It is ironic how the American liberating Iraq weren’t able to keep treasures they found. If I remember my WWII history, various 500K and 540K Mercedes were “liberated” by US troops and shipped back to the U.S. I guess now to be politically correct the original Saddam Mercedes belongs to the Iraq people.
Whatever happened to “fortunes of war.” PS One of the GIs who liberated a prewar classic Mercedes to drive around at war’s end was Johnny von Neumann. I don’t know if he shipped it back to the U.S.
