Several high profile auctions are also taking place with multiple rare Mercedes-Benz vehicles on the blocks. Headlining RM Auctions' Monterey sale, August 20th, is an exquisite 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Spezial Roadster, chassis 154140 from the private collection of Sam and Emily Mann. One of just a select few built with the most desirable configuration of high door, long tail and covered rear spare, of which it is believed just three examples survive, 154140 is expected to establish a new world record for Mercedes-Benz sold at auction when it crosses the podium on Saturday evening.
