This exceptional example was delivered new in Belgium and has remained in its home country throughout its life. Originally owned by a linen merchant from Kortrijk, the car was seized following the owner's bankruptcy and subsequently kept in a private collection for nearly 60 years, never being re-registered. At the time of bankruptcy, the vehicle had a mechanical defect. However, just a few days before the bankruptcy, the engine had been completely overhauled. The original break-in sticker for the engine, showing the corresponding mileage, is still present today. The restoration sticker applied to the windshield in 2024 has also been preserved, documenting the recent re-registration work. Between 2024 and 2026, the car was carefully brought back to roadworthy condition while preserving its originality. All wear components were overhauled or replaced where necessary, allowing this exceptional Mercedes-Benz to return to the road without compromising its authentic character. Xavier's opinion: A Belgian Mercedes with a truly remarkable history. Delivered new in Belgium, kept in a single private collection for nearly sixty years, and recently re-registered with great respect for its originality. Cars like this are exceptionally rare. Furthermore, the 170 SA is a two-seater convertible that is much rarer than most enthusiasts realize, making it a unique opportunity for collectors looking for an authentic Mercedes-Benz with a documented history.
