As this Cabriolet should retain the RHD configuration. we acquired and will include in the sale a RHD w111 Coupe Parts Car This particular example is historically significant as it is the documented prototype for the Floor Shift Automatic Transmission. As documented by the Produktions-Auftrag. Chassis Number 112. 023-22-007544 was delivered to Mercedes-Benz London as a test vehicle for the floor shift transmission. The factory team. including former head of vehicle development and creator of the 300 SLR. engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut. specified that this vehicle would include components for column shift as well as the floor shift prototype components. Interestingly. the Produktions-Auftrag directs MB London to test the vehicle for no more than 200 Kilometers and then return the Cabriolet to the factory for retail customer preparation.
