1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K sn-105380
#105380 on the Mercedes-Benz stand during the April 1935 Berlin Auto Show
A 1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K sn-105380 originally owned by Hans Friedrich Prym was a reportedly 'confiscated' or purchased by Americans in 1945. The Prym's (said to have) ran a factory controlled by the Nazis.
Dutch collector, Frans van Haren, purchased the supercharged roadster at RM Auction Monterey in August 2011 for $3.767 million.
At the German Techno Classica classic automobile show the second week of April 2012, the German police seized the car in response to the original owner’s heirs claim of ownership.
At issue is the car’s immediate post-war ownership history. Displayed on the Mercedes-Benz stand at the Berlin Motor Show February 14-24 1935 and subsequently sold to Hans Friedrech Prym of Stolberg, chassis #105380 was rumored to have been 'sold' to an American GI circa 1945. Prym’s heirs feel their claim for #105380 falls under the claim of the car being simply grabbed as revengeful wartime booty
