Vehicle description:
For sale is an absolute pre-war rarity and a piece of automotive history: a 1935 Wanderer W250 featuring the legendary, supremely elegant Gläser body from Dresden.
This exclusive convertible is powered by the highly regarded 6-cylinder in-line engine designed by Ferdinand Porsche, with a displacement of 2257 ccm, which is renowned for its exceptional smoothness and reliability.
This model combines the advanced technology of the Auto Union of that era with Gläser’s masterful coachbuilding craftsmanship.
 
Condition & Registration:
The vehicle is in a very fine, well-maintained condition. It is the result of an earlier frame-off restoration carried out in Switzerland. As a result, it now boasts a beautiful, authentic patina. This lends the car its unmistakable character and proudly tells its story – not a sterile, over-restored ‘museum piece’, but a stylish classic to be enjoyed and driven.

•    Swiss MFK: The Cabriolet is being handed over fresh from the MFK with the coveted veteran vehicle registration.
•    Ready to drive: Fully inspected mechanically and technically. Thanks to its veteran status, the vehicle is only required to undergo an MFK in Switzerland every 6 years.

•    Hydraulic braking system (Ate-Lockheed foot brake fitted as standard)
