1954 Mercedes-Benz 170SD 'Fangio' Service Truck
This wonderful Mercedes truck was acquired by Fangio when he began
to market Mercedes-Benz in Argentina. It was used to deliver spare
parts, run errands and was even used as a support vehicle at the 1962
Swedish Grand Prix where it joined the official Mercedes-Benz team in
its ‘Servicio Repuestos' livery.
The restoration of this Mercedes has been completed to an exemplary
standard and it presents in fantastic overall condition.
Sympathetically detailed to match the livery and colours which it
sported in period, careful attention and consideration has been given,
particularly to the interior to ensure the car has not been
over-restored.
A charming and unusual collector's Mercedes, the history of this
vehicle and its place within the career of the great Fangio and the
success of one of the worlds' most revered marques is paramount.
