Mercedes-Benz 170 S-D
1953
This is the model of Mercedes which was produced for a long time –
during the World War II. That is why a whole generation of
Bulgarians calls it Shtirlits – after the name of a famous Soviet
secret service agent. The car is the latest version of the model.
I bought it from a man in Pleven in 2005. I found it walled up.
In the 50s the owner of this car was the Ambassador of the United
Arab Republic. There was such a state at that time. The car was in
excellent condition. The man took good care of it. But tough times
began and he built in the car in a garage to prevent it from
stealing. When I visited him, he destroyed one of the walls in front
of me and there I saw the car for a first time. Of course, the man
wanted to make sure that I am serious in my intention to buy the
car. I think he liked me.
An advert for this car was coming out several times in Autoclassica
magazine, but no one wanted to buy it until I appeared. When we
opened the door, there was a dead mouse inside - mummified. This
indicated that there was no moisture. Then I saw the keys hanging
and realized that we only need to put a battery and we can start the
motor.
My car-restorer transported the car from Pleven to Varna by truck
and on the way he was stopped 5 times by people who wanted to buy
it. But – they had to read the magazine!
